Winter is a great time to gather loved ones together for family-friendly hikes in the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks.
In much of the country, this is the time of year for cozying up around fireplaces with family and friends to escape the harsh climate outside. But before you bust out the hot chocolate and the 2000-piece puzzle, remember that in Orange County, winter is a great time to hit the trails.
Now is the time when native plants in the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks that have been dormant over the hot summer and fall months start to come to life. In spirit with the holidays, this is a great time to see the Toyon (Heteromeles arbutifolia) shrub, also known as “Christmas berry,” that produces bunches of bright red berries in the winter months that resemble Christmas holly.
