The land is part of nearly 40,000 acres of the former Irvine Ranch that has been designated as both a National and California Natural Landmark for its rare biological and geological features.
The day will begin with registration and trails opening at 8 a.m. Trails will be open for access until 1 p.m. Participants should note that for the safety of pets and preservation of local wildlife, dogs are not allowed in the Irvine Ranch Open Space at any time.
The fourth annual OC Parks Wilderness Celebration is free, and pre-registration is encouraged to save time on the day of the event. Information and registration is available at www.LetsGoOutside.org.
