When it rains, runoff picks up whatever it comes into contact with trash, bacteria, and other pollutants as it runs into our storm drains, traveling untreated to our waters. Help keep our #PacificOcean clean and properly dispose of waste and chemicals.

On Saturday morning, learn how to grow native plants for your porch or balcony! #BeWaterWise

Happy Halloween!! Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle all your delivery boxes!

We’re thankful for Ventura County Fire Department for their work to keep #VenturaCounty safe. As wildfires become more frequent and destructive, they leave in t...heir wake debris and toxic runoff that can pollute rivers and watersheds. Help the Ventura County Fire Department keep us safe by simply being aware of dry conditions. Small changes, like mowing your lawn in the morning instead of the afternoon, can help prevent wildfires and #KeepVenturaCountyBeautiful! See more
