  • Dos Vientos Trail System and Provides Connectivity to Westlake Village
    Dos Vientos Open Space Trails elcome to the Dos Vientos Open Space trail system. This large open space area consisting of 1,216 acres and 41 miles of shared use trails (hiking, cycling, equestrain) was originally part of the Rancho Guadalasca Spanish Land Grant of 1836. Dominated by chaparral and coastal sageW scrub habitats, this area provides a home for a wide variety of wildlife as well as rare and endangered plants including Conejo buckwheat, Verity’s dudleya, and Conejo dudleya. Mountain lions are known (although uncommon) inhabitants, as are coyote, mule deer, and bob cat. This area is also considered an important wildlife movement corridor into the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area through Point Mugu State Park to the south. The trail system provides internal and regional trail connections, as well as views of the Pacific Ocean and the Channel Islands. Directly to the south of Dos Vientos Open Space are Rancho Potrero (COSCA), Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa (NPS), and Pt. Mugu State Park, including the Boney Wilderness (CA State Parks) encompassing over 16,000 acres of open space. The Los Robles Trail and Open Space system is located immediately to the east of the Dos Vientos trail system and provides connectivity to Westlake Village. The Dos Vientos trail system is managed by the Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency (COSCA), a joint powers authority created by the City of Thousand Oaks and the Conejo Recreation and Park District in 1977. Open Space Rules Please help us to maintain the beauty of this open space area by observing the following rules: Open space and trails are open from sunrise to sunset except during inclement weather and emergency conditions when trails may be closed.

  • Public Comments
    PUBLIC COMMENTS The SMMART Trails Coordination Draft Summary Report was mailed in April, 1997, to approximately 1,350 individuals, organizations, and agencies (see Table 5 for the list of the organizations and agencies that received a copy). Additionally, copies were made available at several local libraries and at offices of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, the California Department of Parks and Recreation, and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. The Executive Summary of the Draft Report was provided to 500 agencies, organizations, and media outlets along with a press release announcing the public open houses. Additionally, attempts were made to post the Executive Summary of the Draft Report on the World Wide Web but due to unanticipated technical difficulties, this was not achieved during the publicized comment period. Two open houses were held May 7th and 8th, at the William O. Douglass Outdoor Classroom in the Franklin Canyon area and Agoura Hills High School, respectively. The format of these meetings were as follows: a welcome from the National Park Superintendent, an introduction to the project by the project coordinator, and short presentations made by representatives of the six Action Teams. During the second hour, the group dispersed to visit stations around the room where the teams had maps and additional information displayed and were available to answer questions and receive comments. Written comment sheets were provided to participants to obtain their input as well. Over the two nights, 94 people attended in addition to SMMART Action Team members. Comments Received A total of 115 comments were received fromthe public.

Proper Trail Etiquette CORBA eTerraTimes for April, 2011 Page 1 A Message from CORBA’s President By Mark Langton Solving the Speed Dilema Opponents to bicycles on singletrack trails give plenty of reasons why they feel bikes shouldn’t be there. And there is one that is actually legitimate; bicyclists sometimes go too fast, and some trail users feel their safety is threatened. It’s a simple fix; slow down when you see other trail users, or if you suspect there may be trail users in close proximity. Ideally, slow to their speed and make the encounter a pleasant one–like you’re passing a friend. If you do this, opponents will have nothing to complain about and might even enjoy the encounter! Consider that in recent weeks several comments have been made on blogs and in local news papers, particularly in reference to the Yearling and Lookout Trails in Malibu Creek State Park, and State Park’s considering opening them to bicycle use. From this recent Malibu Times article comes this quote from Agoura Hills resident and equestrian Ruth Gerson: “The problem with multiuse trails [is others have to] default to mountain bikers because the bikes are so fast–the pedestrians and equestrians have been hit,” she said.
