VENTURA — Ventura Land Trust (VLT) will hold a special Legacy Wall dedication ceremony on Wednesday, April 19th at 9:00 am to commemorate donors who supported the Harmon Canyon Campaign for Harmon Canyon Preserve. The ceremony will take place at the Harmon Canyon Preserve trailhead.

The $10 million Harmon Canyon Campaign supported the establishment of Harmon Canyon Preserve, 2,123 acres of permanently conserved open space in Ventura, and a stewardship endowment that allows Ventura Land Trust to care for the land in perpetuity.

The Legacy Wall, created by Ventura metal artist Tyronne McGrath, depicts plants and animals of the Ventura hillsides, and is crowned with commemorative leaves etched with the names of Harmon Canyon Campaign supporters. 

Ventura Land Trust Executive Director Melissa Baffa will give remarks during the ceremony.

Harmon Canyon Preserve is located at 7511 Foothill Road (map). Free parking is available at the preserve trailhead off of McVittie Place.
