Please come join Irvine Ranch Conservancy land stewards search for and remove invasive Spanish Broom, Tree Tobacco, Castor Bean, and Tamarisk in beautiful Santiago Canyon. This area has benefited from past years of stewardship activities, but needs your help to keep it on the road to native habitat recovery. We will be doing vigorous work on uneven surfaces.

Since last winter, with the help from volunteers, the Irvine Ranch Conservancy has seeded and planted over 25 acres of native habitat in Bee Flat Canyon. Most of the seed used in Bee Flat Canyon was grown right here on the Irvine Ranch Conservancy native seed farm! Native plants are beginning to grow but aggressive weeds like black mustard threaten to overtake the new plantings. Volunteers are needed to help maintain plantings by watering and/or weeding. All tools and training, including plant identification, will be provided. There is a lot of area to cover so your assistance is greatly appreciated. Hope you can join us!

Join us for a morning of bird watching in Orchard Hills as we search for fall migrants and year-round residents alike. We will spend time birding in coastal sage scrub and suburban-edge habitats. Please bring your bird guides and binoculars if you have them! This program is appropriate for beginning and intermediate birders. Loaner binoculars will be available if you don’t have your own.
