ABSTRACT

The lower watershed of the Santa Clara River, located entirely within Ventura County, California, encompasses an area of great biological richness. This river system has historically provided habitat for a wide array of native plants and animals and has also supplied humans with water, fish, and fertile farmland. These resources and habitat are increasingly threatened by invasive non-native species and other problems associated with increasing urbanization. The intent of this conservation plan is to focus collaborative, strategic conservation action to abate the main threats to â and enhance the viability of â the watershed's unique natural heritage.
