Irvine Ranch Conservancy

The Irvine Ranch Conservancy is a non-profit, non-advocacy organization with 50 full-time, part-time, and seasonal staff and nearly 400 volunteers. Our mission is to protect, restore, and enhance the natural resources of nearly 50,000 acres of protected open space on the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks in perpetuity, and to provide diverse opportunities for compatible public enjoyment through scientific, recreational, and educational initiatives and programs. We fundamentally believe that awareness and appreciation by the public, through making personal connections to the land, is essential to transforming the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks into an internationally acclaimed treasure of preserved open space and recreational enjoyment.
