What we’re about
Welcome to the official Ventura Sierra Club meetup group! We are everyone in Ventura, Oxnard, Camarillo, Ojai, Santa Paula, Fillmore, Somis, El Rio, Port Hueneme, and all the little places inbetween. Want to hike locally? This is the place to be! Ease into fitness at beginner walks, get going on intermediate half or whole day hikes, or make new friendships on overnight backpacks. Want to volunteer for the environment? Check out our service activities! We do beach/river clean ups, trail repair, native plant restorations and more. Your personal fulfillment awaits! "Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life." ~John Muir 1901

See all- Double Event - Botanical Garden Tour & E.P. Foster Library MeetingNeeds location
Join us on Wed, June 25th for a double event. Join the Ventura Sierra Club on a docent-led tour of the Ventura Botanical Gardens, 567 Poli Street (located behind City Hall,) starting at 4pm.
During this 1-hour tour we will enjoy some of the most spectacular views in Ventura County and learn about the progress recently made in the gardens. The admission fee for the garden has been waived for those joining our tour (though individual donations to the garden are always appreciated).
Following the one-hour tour we will reconvene for an organizing meeting at E.P. Foster Library at 5:30pm in the Topper Room. We are facing unprecedented environmental challenges at the local, state and national levels; and organization is essential to confronting these challenges. Your participation is encouraged and needed as we complete a leadership slate and together protect our environment.
You are welcome to join us either for one or both events, a short walk or drive from each other.
