In 2006, the U.S. Department of Interior designated 37,000 acres of protected wildlands and parks on The Irvine Ranch a National Natural Landmark. This honor recognizes the exceptional value of these lands to the entire nation.
The National Natural Landmark (NNL), and the entire 50,000 acres of wildlands and parks, is cared for by local governments, public agencies, private landowners and non-profit organizations. They work together to protect natural resources and to offer a rich menu of recreational opportunities.
