​Research is growing about the positive health benefits of spending more time outdoors. From exercise to simply being in a natural setting, spending time outdoors enhances your overall well-being.

The Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks has nearly 40,000 acres of space to explore with plenty of scheduled and docent-led activities to suit all interests and abilities.
 
In a recent article published by the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, researchers found that people who spent two hours a week in green spaces, such as parks or other natural environments, were more likely to report good health and psychological well-being than those who don’t.

Explore the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks by Twilight or Moonlight

PictureA moonlit landscape
​Register for evening and nighttime guided activities and discover what flora and fauna thrives as the sun sets
 
As the sun sets earlier in the day and evening hours are extended, hikers, bikers, and equestrians can experience their favorite open spaces on Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks by registering for a moonlight, twilight, or evening hike. Visitors can enjoy the crisp air of the wildlands as the sun sets, and possibly spot creatures that prefer moonlight! Outdoor enthusiasts can escape the light and noise of urban neighborhoods and enjoy the serenity of the Landmarks as nature’s day shift concludes and the night shift begins.
 
Nocturnal and diurnal are familiar terms for periods of activity in plants and wildlife. Nocturnal animals like opossums, field mice, bats and owls thrive at night, under the moonlight, and diurnal animals like humans are most active during the day. However, there is another major category of animal activity and that is crepuscular, a term drawn from the Latin word for “twilight” and used for animals who are active primarily at dawn or dusk. These fickle crepuscular animals such as skunks, rabbits, and deer love the early morning sunlight and twilight, and lucky nature lovers may catch a glimpse of these creatures during activities on the Landmarks.
