Landmark News
Landmark News is a quarterly e-newsletter dedicated to information about the 50,000 acres of wildlands and parks on the historic Irvine Ranch. We hope this newsletter inspires you to enjoy this magnificent landscape and get involved in preserving it.
Bringing people and nature together through public access, volunteer opportunities, education, and other programs is a primary goal for the Irvine Ranch Conservancy (IRC) and its partners. Much has been said recently about people's loss of connection to nature. Especially in today's difficult times, everyone needs ways to restore that connection and experience nature close to home.

Crystal Cove State Park Crystal Cove State Park:
Rare Intact Coastline Offers Plentiful Possibilities for Land and Water Lovers...

Crystal Cove State Park, located within the historic Irvine Ranch is a place unlike any other in Southern California. With beaches, bluffs, tide pools, and a backcountry full of extraordinary ocean and mountain views, the Park is truly a trip back in time. The masterpiece is completed by the recent restoration of quaint, ocean-front cottages available for public use which will soon be complemented by a new overnight campground. With three-and-a-half miles of unspoiled beach and approximately 2,800 acres of wooded canyons, bluffs and trails; this spectacular treasure is a haven for rare species and protected habitats as well as recreational users, including mountain bikers, hikers, and equestrians.
