Results / Work Done: The crew was able to repair trails that were damaged by this winter’s rain storms, water all of the new plantings with water from the Ventura River, and build new trails that had been blocked off by trees that had fallen, and repair areas that were impacted by the Thomas Fire. The Big Rock Preserve is open to the public from dawn to dusk and is located along the Ventura River Bike Trail just south of Foster Park in Ventura. On top of all of that work, volunteers freed up some native willow trees at Foster park that were being choked by arundo, an invasive giant reed that looks like bamboo, and cleared a new path to access the river.
