ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. — Irvine Ranch Conservancy was founded in 2005 to help care for the tens of thousands of open space acres preserved in public ownership on the historic Irvine Ranch. The organization works in partnership with the landowners including OC Parks, the City of Irvine, and the City of Newport Beach.
The organization's work helps ensure that people can continue to enjoy open space.
