May 5th 2025
NATIVE PLANTS AND FIRE SAFETY
Ojai Valley Land Conservancy’s Rewild Ojai Coordinator, Claire Woolson, will give a presentation and discussion on using native plants to create habitat for birds in your own backyard. Claire will talk about the importance of native plants and offer resources to add them to your yard. In addition, she will discuss wildfire and how to incorporate firewise tactics while still using native plants.
JOIN US AT THE WESTERN FOUNDATION!
We have the privilege of holding our meetings at the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology (also known as the Bird Museum), 439 Calle San Pablo in Camarillo. If you arrive when the doors open at 6:30, you’ll have the rare opportunity to look around the museum’s collections for a half hour before the meeting starts at 7:00 pm. (Also check out wfvz.org)
CVAS’s meetings will be hybrid, simultaneously live at WFVZ (recommended) and on Zoom. The link to join on Zoom is https://zoom.us/j/6155249106.
Anyone interested in joining us for dinner at Wood Ranch Camarillo before the meeting, let Chrystal know you’re coming (805-261-9885), then meet at the restaurant by 5:00 pm.
