What We Do
Since 2005, Irvine Ranch Conservancy has ensured the protection, restoration, and enhancement of the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks — a collection of 25 distinct biological and geological treasures on more than 40,000 acres of Southern California’s illustrious urban wildlands. We actively manage these Landmarks and the vast acreage of publicly owned land that encompasses them in partnership with the Cities of Irvine and Newport Beach, Orange County Parks, and numerous other community partners.

The Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks
Irvine Ranch Conservancy brings together comprehensive ecological knowledge, educational expertise, and land management experience necessary to help Southern California’s urban wildlands thrive. We are wholly dedicated to ensuring that lands and waters under our care — and the species and habitats they contain — remain healthy and resilient.
During our 15 years of land stewardship, we have restored nearly 2,000 acres of native habitat, built and maintained 160 miles of trails, and trained thousands of volunteers to become experts, leaders, and advocates for the health of local wildlands. Our organization has grown from just a few employees in the early years to a team of nearly 50 staff charged with managing and protecting these local treasures while enabling people to enjoy and connect with the land in environmentally responsible ways.
