Activity Cards

Led by Laguna Canyon Foundation in partnership with OC Parks. Astronomy in the daytime…How does that work? When we look out into the heavens in the daytime we can’t see the stars…except for one! Amateur astronomers will bring their telescopes and solar filters so you can look for sunspots and other features on our closest star. Make your own ultraviolet-detecting bracelet and enjoy other fun-in-the-sun activities! Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, Little Sycamore Canyon Staging Area/Nix Nature Center (west side of Laguna Canyon Rd/SR-133, approximately 3.5 miles south of I-5/405). Online reservations required: www.lagunacanyon.org/activities.html. For questions call: 949-497-8324. Parking: $3. Program is free; donations appreciated.

Leave your park better than you found it! Join Irvine Ranch Conservancy staff during monthly habitat stewardship activities at Santiago Oaks Regional Park, aimed at keeping the park’s habitat healthy. Identified in collaboration with the Park Rangers that patrol the trails everyday, stewardship projects can include planting to combat the effects of hiking, biking and riding off-trail, removing invasive plant species that threaten to crowd out the diversity of native plants, and more!

No previous experience is needed, however please note that we may be hiking up steep trails.

Reviewing the 1-through-5 Difficulty Ratings will help you evaluate your readiness to participate in this level-4 activity on the land.
