OC Parks' Limestone Canyon Nature Preserve.
Held annually on the fourth Saturday in September, National Public Lands Day is the nation's largest single-day volunteer effort, celebrating the connection between people and green space in their community. Established in 1994, National Public Lands Day was created to inspire environmental stewardship and encourage the use of open space for education, recreation, and health benefits.
This weekend, Irvine Ranch Conservancy encourages nature lovers to spend time outdoors and give back to Orange County’s native wildlands. Whether you sign up for an upcoming stewardship event, enjoy the health benefits of exploring the seven-day access trails, or plant native species in your own garden, there are a variety of ways to show you care.

On Saturday, September 24, hikers can head out to the City of Irvine’s Bommer Canyon for a morning trek on East Fork and Ridge Route Loop, where you’ll experience mature coastal sage scrub and fantastic views overlooking Irvine and the hillsides to the north. Those looking to get their hands dirty can join OC Parks at Upper Newport Bay where volunteers will be tending to plants at the Big Canyon restoration site.
On Sunday, September 25, the whole family can enjoy an afternoon beginning mountain bike ride in OC Parks’ Limestone Canyon Nature Preserve. Families with children ages 12 and up can join IRC-certified volunteers on a longer, slow-paced, family-oriented ride through sycamores, oaks, and habitat native to California. The route will take riders to The Sinks, Orange County’s own “Grand Canyon.”
Irvine Ranch Conservancy and its partners, OC Parks, City of Irvine and the City of Newport Beach, regularly host public stewardship events throughout Orange County. Volunteers interested in helping protect local native wildlands can sign-up for stewardship activities on LetsGoOutside.org.
