City of Ventura - Environmental Sustainability

The City of Ventura is a beautiful coastal city (pop. 107,000) located one hour north of Los Angeles. Visitors to Ventura enjoy the abundant arts and cultural activities, outdoor adventures and the rich fusion of agricultural abundance and ocean side proximity. The Channel Islands National Park lies just off shore as does a National Marine Sanctuary. The Los Padres National Forest is found in Ventura's foothills while two of California's longest flowing open rivers help to form the city's boundaries. The City's Environmental Sustainability Division endeavors to protect Ventura's many natural resources by promoting sustainable operations within the City organization and promoting sustainable living by its businesses and residents.
