The pond at the Ojai Meadows Preserve fills up after a January rain

At a quick glance it is obvious that the Ojai Meadows Preserve is doing what it’s meant to—connecting people to the natural world. However, unless you remember the way Highway 33 used to flood during a rainstorm, you may not realize the important role the preserve plays in capturing flood waters.

History has not always been kind to the meadows. Before the OVLC acquired the Ojai Meadows Preserve in 2000, this historic wetland had been buried un- der sediment and fill dirt from nearby construction.

Beetle traps have been set up at a number of OVLC preserves and beetles have been captured on the Ventura River Preserve and the Ojai Meadows Preserve. Follow-up investigations have shown that the beetle is well-established in trees throughout the Ojai Meadows Preserve, and we are beginning to observe our first tree deaths in willows and cottonwoods near the Maricopa Highway. We continue to monitor affected trees and are working with scientists to develop a response strategy that may include treating some trees or possibly the removal of impacted trees to prevent the spread of beetles.

Since the beetles do not need to leave the tree to Together, our community will help protect reproduce, chemical pesticides are likely to be ineffective unless injected directly into the tree (at Ojai’s open space for everyone to enjoy, a very high cost).
