GOVERNMENT CENTER RE-OPENING – EFFECTIVE JUNE 28TH, 2021, THE GOVERNMENT CENTER WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC EVERY MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND FRIDAY
To celebrate the American Public Works Association’s National Public Works Week, Ventura County Public Works Agency (VCPWA) will celebrate with its very own virtual event the week of May 17, 2021!
We’re taking things virtual for the second year and are working to ensure that students will still receive content and activities customized to their interests while continuing to show the diversity of what Ventura County Public Works Agency does for the community. Curriculum for your students could feature interactive information about science, the latest innovations in technology, heavy equipment demonstrations, and much more going on in the heart of their community.

Coastal Cleanup Day Today & A River Friend Tomorrow By Candice Meneghin, Friends of the Santa Clara River This Saturday, International Coastal Cleanup Day is likely to once again break records as the world’s largest volunteer event. Last year Ventura County saw a 21% increase in volunteerism, with 3,313 people volunteering their time to clean up our county’s waterways and beaches.

The next target may be plastic food wrappers and cigarette butts – the top two most frequently collected plastic items during Coastal Cleanup Day. This day of volunteerism provides an opportunity to show our care for the natural environment and its …
