Laguna Canyon Foundation is dedicated to the conservation and ongoing protection of the South Coast Wilderness. We envision a thriving coastal ecosystem that serves as a source of inspiration, connection, and refuge for all.
The South Coast Wilderness comprises 22,000 contiguous acres of open space, including Laguna Coast and Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Parks, Crystal Cove State Park, and open space in the cities of Irvine, Laguna Woods and Laguna Beach. Managed and supported by various government and nonprofit entities, these areas link to form almost 30 square miles of critical wildlife habitat.
Surrounded by Orange County’s busy network of freeways and cities, the South Coast Wilderness provides an increasingly rare and valuable refuge for urban dwellers seeking natural beauty and solitude. Visitors can discover the county’s only remaining natural lakes, a thriving wildlife community, nature centers and interpretive programs, volunteer opportunities, and recreational activities from hiking and birding to mountain biking.
Through our education programs, volunteer program, outreach and community work, and hands-on restoration and fire mitigation efforts, Laguna Canyon Foundation serves the local community, visitors, students, volunteers, local wildlife, and and more.
