Ventura River to connect 

Rivers, Fish and People

Ventura River Parkway

The Ventura Hillsides Conservancy and Friends of the Ventura 

River will be hosting their

annual Ventura River picnic on Saturday, 

May 24^th from 11AM-2PM  

at the Willoughby Preserve in downtown Ventura.  This year’s event 

coincides with World Fish Migration Day 2014

(WFMD) , a one day global initiative, with local events worldwide, 

to create awareness on the importance of open rivers and 

migratory fish. Currently, migratory fish are threatened and fish stocks are declining rapidly around the world. This is especially 

true in Ventura, where the Santa Clara and Ventura Rivers historically were teeming with now endangered Steelhead Trout. 

    The free event is open to the public and features guided tours of the river, informative displays, activities for children and a free picnic lunch.
