The Ventura County Community Foundation was awarded $1 million in support of the Environmental Workforce Collaborative in partnership with CREW, Safe Passage Youth Foundation, Santa Monica Mountains Fund, Ventura Regional Fire Safe Council, and Los Padres ForestWatch!



The Environmental Workforce Collaborative is committed to a multi-pronged strategy yielding direct interventions to mitigate and adapt to the risks we face while building toward a more sustainable, thriving region. This Collaborative was made possible by funding from Edison International.

SCE's Wildfire Mitigation Plan outlines actions they are making to lower the risk of wildfires associated with electrical systems in high fire risk areas. Some of these actions include strengthening the grid, conducting inspections on equipment, vegetation management, improved monitoring and further risk assessments, and many more.
