The Ventura Land trust is a non profit organization primarily involved on land conservation and management. Ventura Wild and Nature by design are the education divisions of VLT which focuses on nature connection, wilderness skills and hands on activities to connect to our local environment on our preserves and other areas around Ventura county.

Ventura Wild rekindles a deep sense of belonging and connection to wild places by nurturing awareness, knowledge, skills and stewardship in the natural world. The lands we visit are the traditional and ancestral homeland of the Chumash People. Ventura Wild creates meaningful outdoor experiences to reawaken an innate human affinity for Nature. We believe that a physical and emotional connection to Nature at an early age promotes basic principles of human development that inspire a sense of belonging, resiliency, and interdependence. Returning humans to our indigenous awareness, knowledge and skills are the first steps toward a life of sustainable relationships with each other, the self and the planet.
