The Irvine Ranch Conservancy will be offering its ninth annual CNPS tour of the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks on Sunday, April 8th with hosts Jutta Burger and Ron Vanderhoff and long-time IRC volunteers. We will be taking a “post-fire recovery” drive up Weir Canyon and Blind Canyon Road. Participants will learn about fire cycles and succession in our Mediterranean climate, will enjoy the spring wildflower bloom encouraged by fire, and will be able to observe the effects of too frequent fire on vegetation. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about specific plant species and insects and will have an opportunity to study tracks of our four-legged friends along the way. A simple lunch will be provided.
