Young visitors enjoying the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks Summer temperatures may be ongoing, but a new school year is upon us, and kids are returning to classrooms across Orange County. Even though most learning takes place in the classroom, there are plenty of valuable lessons that can be taught right in our own backyard on the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks.
Home to a variety of diverse habitats, including rare plant and animal species, the Landmarks present many opportunities to experience and learn from the wonders of nature. Irvine Ranch Conservancy and its partners, OC Parks, City of Irvine and the City of Newport Beach, frequently host interpretive activities for all ages to learn, explore, and connect with local wildlands.

Irvine Ranch Conservancy and its partners, OC Parks, City of Irvine and the City of Newport Beach, frequently host interpretive activities for all ages to learn, explore, and connect with local wildlands.
Interpretive activities are designed to focus on helping visitors enjoy their time outdoors, while also learning about nature. Led by a dedicated, highly-trained team of Irvine Ranch Conservancy volunteers, these activities cover a wide range of topics through interactive participation, as well as educational discussions in an effort to help the community develop a personal connection to the land and create lifelong stewards of these natural resources.
On Saturday, September 18, join Irvine Ranch Conservancy volunteers for OC Parks’ “Uncloak the Oak” interpretive activity. Young naturalists will learn about the importance of the Coastal Oak Woodlands through fun games, nature activities and leisurely paced trail walk.
Visitors can also create their own learning experience by exploring seven-day access trails daily from dawn to dusk. Seven-day access trails can be found at popular Landmark locations such as the City of Irvine’s Bommer Canyon and Quail Hill, Newport Beach’s Buck Gully Reserve, OC Parks’ Laguna Coast Wilderness Park and Crystal Cove State Park.
