Long Tailed Weasel

The Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks are home to diverse natural communities and native species and welcome visitors to the lands daily. Recreational programs encourage outdoor activity and help the public build a relationship with the lands, and stewardship programs welcome volunteers to help restore the Landmarks for future generations to enjoy. Yet with human presence comes unavoidable impacts to the open spaces, whether recreating on the trails or restoring natural resources during stewardships.

On Earth Day in 2008, nearly 40,000 acres of open space on the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks were designated as the first California Natural Landmark. The designation came on the heels of a new state program that recognized the best examples of natural heritage. We are proud to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the designation this year, and look forward to celebrating many anniversaries to come thanks to the support of all the land owners, partners, volunteers, and the community.
