Our Vision: A Higher Standard of Stewardship

Picture
Our Vision is for the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks to be cared for and treasured to the highest possible standards. People come from near and far to visit, natural resources are stewarded to ensure long-term sustainability and resilience, and the land is a source of broad community participation and pride. The conservation and recreation successes of the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks are a model of how urban wilderness can be protected and managed through a network of public/private partnerships. The programs of the Irvine Ranch Conservancy inspire growing, active public support for the land in surrounding communities.  

Irvine Ranch Conservancy is continuously guided by three core principles that define our approach to our work:
  • ​Partnership: The long-term health of the Landmarks depends on the collaboration of a wide variety of people, communities, and interests. We work closely with more than three dozen public and private partners to provide resource and land management, community engagement, and visitor facilities.
  • Excellence: Irvine Ranch Conservancy is an urban wildlands expert with a mission to do right by the land while also helping our partners and collaborators shine. We deliver integrated, holistic land management in a complex landscape by skillfully balancing the needs of the land with the interests of landowners and the public.
  • Innovation: Our work is grounded in science yet consistently embraces innovative ways to achieve the long-term protection and restoration of natural resources and ecological functioning. We don’t get stuck in the status quo; there is always a fresh approach we can explore.
