Neighbors for Preservation of Deer Creek (NPDC) is a dedicated group of long-term residents committed to the protection and preservation of the Deer Creek area and the surrounding Santa Monica Mountains. As individuals who have lived in this environmentally sensitive region for many years, we are deeply connected to its unique landscapes, natural beauty, and diverse ecosystems.
Our organization was formed in response to recent development proposals that we believe are inconsistent with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Ventura County’s guidelines for responsible land use and environmental protection. These developments threaten the scenic beauty, wildlife habitats, and fragile ecosystems that define the area, and we are determined to ensure that any changes to the land are in harmony with the region's natural character.
At NPDC, we aim to protect the visual resources, scenic corridors, and habitats that make the Santa Monica Mountains such a unique and valued part of Southern California. Our efforts focus on preserving the integrity of environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHA), safeguarding wildlife corridors, and maintaining the stunning vistas that have long made this area a beloved destination for nature lovers and residents alike.
Through advocacy, education, and collaboration with local officials and community members, we strive to raise awareness of the importance of responsible development and promote sustainable practices that honor the natural heritage of Deer Creek.
Together, we are committed to ensuring that this region's natural beauty and ecological value are preserved for future generations to enjoy.
We invite you to join us in our mission to protect this cherished environment and to help maintain the balance between human activity and nature in the Santa Monica Mountains.
