DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS…ONE MISSION
In 2005, Irvine Company Chairman Donald Bren announced the formation of a new organization, the Irvine Ranch Land Reserve Trust, that was charged with ensuring that the wildlands and parks on The Irvine Ranch would be cared for to the highest possible standards. In less than three years, the organization has grown to a team who are all passionate about stewardship excellence. In the process, we've evolved from a "Trust" into a fully operational organization; hence our recent name change to the Irvine Ranch Conservancy. We have created a strong track record of partnerships and results including opening more than 30 miles of new trails; working with the City of Irvine to manage its 4,100 acres of City wildland called the Open Space Preserve - South; and providing leadership in obtaining National Natural Landmark designation for the unique wildlands of The Irvine Ranch. In keeping with our mission, we work with all those who share our broad vision to initiate and conduct scientific, recreational and educational programs that ensure the conservation of the biologically rich 50,000 acres of open space and connect people to them. Our team brings different backgrounds including science, land stewardship, non-profit operations, and public program management, yet we are all committed to bringing people and nature together. With the assistance of many partners and nearly 200 dedicated and experienced volunteers we will continue to expose the public to the wonders of this land, while preserving its spectacular resources for future generations.
