Celebrate Autumn with a Wilderness Hike

Now that the weather has cooled, it’s a perfect time to get outside and explore beautiful Orange County. On Oct. 13, please join OCTA for a hike at Wren’s View Preserve.

One of the permanently protected areas purchased and preserved by OCTA as open space, the Wren's View Preserve is a 116-acre parcel located northwest of the City of Rancho Santa Margarita in Trabuco Canyon, and immediately north of O’Neill Regional Park and Trabuco Creek. To date, OCTA has acquired more than 1300 acres in Brea, Laguna Beach, Silverado Canyon, and Trabuco Canyon. A total of 12 restoration projects, resulting in 350 acres of restored open space, was funded throughout Orange County.

These properties are part of the OC Go (also known as Measure M) Freeway Environmental Mitigation Program, which allocates funds to acquire land and fund habitat restoration projects in exchange for streamlined environmental approvals for all OC Go freeway improvement projects.
