- Ventura Land Trust has been cleaning up the Lower Ventura River since 2012.
From the filmmaker: "There is no solution at this point how to stop people from dumping or leaving their trash behind, the best we can do at this point is clean it up weekly, work with the homeless and try to make sure none of this trash reaches the ocean. Most of what you see here is roughly a quarter of a mile from the Estuary which leads directly into the ocean."
Thank you to Jason Hernandez of Hey Film This for creating this beautiful piece for us. @heyfilmthis www.heyfilmthis.com/ - Krátké a kreslené filmy
The rents have gone up so much in Ventura that the older locals and seniors can't afford to live there anymore. It's sad.
The rents have gone up so much that they cant pick up the trash they leave everywhere.... Stop making excuses for this kind of crap. The only way it ends.
I was born and raised in Ventura, thanks for your hard work Dan.
This is such a well-done video! Thanks for watching out for our river, our lands, and our ocean, and for having such grace and empathy. Our community is better because of the work you do.
Keep up the good work, Cause and effect, it all makes a difference my friends. Thank you, for all you do for Mother Earth.
The good and ugly of this world shown here. People who trash the planet and people who really care about it and make a difference. Good job and thank you to all who help clean up down there!
Great video & great work, thank you.
Thank you VLT! Yes, it all helps Dan H.! Great work! And Jason Hernandez for the video.
ThankYou!
Hobo's jungle in the lower ventura river bottom has been a popular destination for America's hobo/ homeless peoples
for the last 100 yrs. easy access from the railroad for rail riders! 👍🥳😧🤚👳♂️
I think what's needed and funds placed into locations for trash dumpsters and recypticalsc close or at homeless encampments . Give the opportunity for them to clean up after themselves . You don't learn anything when others provide for you . .
We are not LA thank God! Getting there though with all the construction. I work in LA and our problem is NOTHING compared to skid row and the LA river!
Do you still do this?
Should get Dane Reynolds and chapter 11 on board
Great job! Somehow we need 2 find a way 2 solve the homeless problem . It is out of control! Santa Clara River has the same problems too! Housing people & rent control

Bro I am from Ventura Class of 91 Buena Vista . Surfed Pierpont lived on wedge side worked Union Oxnard Local 585 on East Coast coming home i will look Ya Up . Surfing is a Way of life ocean Water all Need it Rock On 👈👃✨✨✨
Several of the "homeless" in Ventura come from rich families. Have homes in the Spanish hills.
U sure about that? I been homeless in Oxnard for 3 years and never met a guy like that. Met youngsters who lie about being homeless to get money for a drug fix, but that's it. Right now it sucks cuz of all the rain, tho it's much needed. Anyway I'd say over 80% of the homeless I've met n known are mentally disabled ALONG with drug issues
Yes Nasty Nancy and Brittany Lovos both have families in the Spanish hills. It's not a new concept that rich kids party on the streets.
@@jonathanruhland8945 have no clue who those people are
@@SxTxferlife who cares if you know them, everyone else does, my point is that homeless people are preyed on by the surrounding community. Not all homeless people party.
@@jonathanruhland8945 thats exactly wat I was saying
Do you want to clean up The Ventura River areas. Get ready of the Elected officials in Ventura and the State Governor.
This needs to happen in San Diego. The homeless run rapid and the rivers are full of trash and bacteria. The homeless are aggressive asf, not like the kind you guys are talking with. Literally walking through people’s backyards in the middle of the night and setting up on their camps. My brother nearly died after surfing in the winter time from a necrotic sinus infection that almost went to his brain caused by the water upstream of Cardiff reef with the homeless problem. You can’t ever surf the reef anymore on an outgoing tide or else you are in the stinkiest bacteria filled water. It’s worse in the winter time. Blacks beach is the same way, you go for a walk in the winter time and all you smell is feces and the water that drains from the water falls on the cliffs into the ocean, creating that smell and bubbles after every wave that breaks. This was not a problem just a few years ago. Not to mention the dumping just south of the border in Tijuana. I visit the homeless sites but I’ve nearly died from infected poison oak/ cellulitis twice now because of how dirty the places are after they are cleared out. There is no San Diego land trust at all or any effort to clean up the trash or the homeless. Simplest thing to do is just set up Porto potties for the homeless around the beach, but they shit on everything in the bathrooms, no kidding. I have been riding my bike in del mar and had them set up to try to attack me. I tried picking up trash but fuck I’m not going to nearly die from poison oak again or face off against insane tweakers or use a bathroom covered in literal feces when I go to the beach. They already use the bathrooms at blacks and cover them in feces in the early morning to spite everybody else who needs to go to the bathroom for the rest of the day. And I am literally the only person who talks about this because no other surfers ever venture up steam and see why the line up smells. The Del Mar river mouth doesn’t have as bad of a problem as Cardiff reef because there isn’t the homeless population upstream, only lake hodges. Oceanside harbor can’t even open the river mouth at south jetty anymore because of how much of a public health risk it is. Ear plugs are a must but there isn’t anything you can do to protect you sinuses.
So, the homeless are Very Fast in San Diego eh? I’ve never seen homeless people “Run Rapid”. Ussually they are very slow…
I love it when I hear about murdered homeless. Really helps solve a lot of problems like this!
Lol or maybe she bought a home and is still glad she didn't bunk with a bunch of dudes.
Cruel, heartless
