Canyon trail renamed to honor the legacy of Conservation giant John Broesamle! </a> </h1> <div class="blog-excerpt"> <div class="blog-excerpt-wrapper"><p>The decision to rename Fox Canyon Trail to John’s Fox Canyon Trail reflects the profound impact John Broesamle had on OVLC and the Ojai community. His involvement with the organization began in the 1990s, leading to an impactful seven-year tenure on the board from 1997 to 2005, which marked a period of transformation. John reshaped OVLC’s board structure, transitioning it from a larger assembly to a focused, productive team.

He’s done 200 of those hours in the past year alone. Jon’s dedication to trail work, combined with his background in construction and aerospace, has made a significant impact, especially with projects like the rock check step on John’s Fox Canyon Trail. Jon’s love for the outdoors, active lifestyle, and ability to build cross-generational friendships have elevated the volunteer experience for all involved. In this interview, Preserve Manager Linda Wilkin sits down with Jon to discuss his motivations for volunteering, his favorite projects, and the sense of community he’s found through OVLC. Join us as we explore the stories and connections that make Jon’s contributions so valuable to our mission.</em></p></div> </div> <a class="blog-more-link" href="/news/volunteer-profile-summer-2024-jon-hill-nbsp" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> </div> </article> <nav class="blog-list-pagination"> <div class="newer"> </div> <div class="older"> <a href="/news?offset=1725568620900" rel="next"> <span class="next-label">Older Posts</span> <div class="blog-list-pagination-icon icon icon--stroke"> <svg class="caret-right-icon--small" viewBox="0 0 9 16"> <polyline fill="none" stroke-miterlimit="10" points="1.6,1.2 6.5,7.9 1.6,14.7 "/> </svg> </div> </a> </div> </nav> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section data-test="page-section" data-section-theme="" class='page-section full-bleed-section layout-engine-section background-width--full-bleed section-height--medium content-width--wide horizontal-alignment--center vertical-alignment--middle ' data-section-id="6557b838fc9e906063ea2386" data-controller="SectionWrapperController" data-current-styles="{ "imageOverlayOpacity": 0.15, "backgroundWidth": "background-width--full-bleed", "sectionHeight": "section-height--medium", "customSectionHeight": 10, "horizontalAlignment": "horizontal-alignment--center", "verticalAlignment": "vertical-alignment--middle", "contentWidth": "content-width--wide", "customContentWidth": 50, "backgroundColor": "", "sectionTheme": "", "sectionAnimation": "none", "backgroundMode": "image" }" data-current-context="{ "video": null, "backgroundImageId": null, "backgroundMediaEffect": null, "divider": null, "typeName": "blog-basic-grid" }" data-animation="none" data-fluid-engine-section > <div class="section-border" > <div class="section-background"> </div> </div> <div class='content-wrapper' style=' ' > <div class="content" > <div data-fluid-engine="true"><style> .fe-6557b838bf3e932b5093c264 { --grid-gutter: calc(var(--sqs-mobile-site-gutter, 6vw) - 11.0px);
