Activity Cards

Recharge your batteries with a refreshing mid week hike through Orchard Hills and Loma Ridge. We’ll hike through a working avocado grove and up on to Loma Ridge, providing spectacular views of all of Orange County.

This hike involves multiple steep climbs and descents, 2600+ feet of accumulated climbing elevation, but is done at a moderate pace, approx. 3 mph.

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

This month, we’ll be removing the invasive Castor bean plant, to ensure the surrounding natives have room to thrive, providing important shelter and food for wildlife, as well as beautiful trails for humans!
