The Carpinteria Valley Association (CVA) is marking its 60th anniversary this year. Since its founding in 1964, CVA has been a steadfast advocate for preserving the natural beauty and small-town charm of the Carpinteria Valley and Summerland.
Over the decades, CVA has played a crucial role in numerous environmental victories, including the preservation of the Carpinteria Bluffs and the establishment of the Carpinteria Salt Marsh Preserve. The organization has also worked tirelessly to protect open space, limit urban sprawl, and ensure responsible land use practices.
As CVA enters its next 60 years, it remains committed to its mission of preserving the Carpinteria Valley’s unique character and advocating for a sustainable future. The City of Carpinteria recently recognized CVA’s significant contributions to the community, commending its dedication to the residents of Carpinteria.
