Santa Rosa Connector Trail
This trail, proposed by SRVTI, has now been included by Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency  COSCA  in the draft Canyons Management Plan.  This plan will soon be taken to the COSCA board for approval   The new trail will connect Santa Rosa Valley to Wildwood Park.  It will run from the Santa Rosa Trail on the top of the Mountclef Ridge down to the Lower Santa Rosa ( Baseline) Trail.

Arroyo Santa Rosa Bridge.
We are working with the Ventura County Watershed Protection District (WPD) to place a bridge over the Arroyo Santa Rosa just west of East Las Posas Road
Where's that? (pdf file)
This bridge will make it much safer than the current road bridge where horses must contend with traffic and/or a precarious drop to the concrete channel below.

New Trail Easements
We have received two new trail easements this year. 

The Donnelly Trail connects the Lower Santa Rosa Trail with Santa Rosa Road and lies about 100 yards west of the signalized equestrian crossing at East Las Posas Road.  The easement was generoulsly donated by Michael and Lori Donnelly, who own the property where the trail is located.

The Thelma Connector Trail runs across private property and could have been closed by a future property owner.  It connects Thelma Lane with the Saddlebrook Estates trails.  Our thanks to the current owners who agreed to grant an easement to SRVTI.  We have re-graded the trail and realigned it so that users will not have to go on the owners driveway.


Adopted trail
This year, we adopted the Lower Santa Rosa Trail in Wildwod Park
under the COSCA Adopt-a-trail program 
This trail, known locallly as Baseline Trail,
runs along the south side of the valley between
Talal Court and Hidden Meadows Estates. 
SRVTI will maintain the trail
and has made safety improvements.




Santa Rosa Park

In March, Santa Rosa Valley Trails Inc. helped sponsor the Grand Opening of our new Santa Rosa Valley park that had been in the planning stages for years.  About 250 people and 50 equestrians came to celebrate the completion of the first phase of the park.  A free barbeque was provided for participants.  The park is now a trailhead for access to Hill Canyon.   The next stage will include equestrian facilities at the park.  Members of the Santa Rosa Valley Municipal Advisory Council, SRVTI Directors and Ventura County Supervisors Steve Bennett and  Linda Parks were present for the ribbon cutting ceremony to declare the park open:
