Southern California offers a wide array of habitats, with several encompassing much of the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks. Many natural communities thrive in our arid climate, such as native grasslands, lush stream corridors, live oak woodlands, and thick chaparral. We will take a closer look as Botanists at the expansive coastal sage scrub community in Round Canyon. By exploring the many unique, rare and endangered species who call this particular habitat home we will discover the Secrets of the Sage!
