Fairview Park Habitat Restoration Days [Every 3rd Saturday]

The Banning Ranch Conservancy is taking the Santa Ana River Coastal Corridor (the tidal influence zone) under our wing to help clean it up and restore its habitats. Join us!

You and your community / family are invited to join the Conservancy at Fairview Park in Costa Mesa from 9am-11:30am, every 3rd Saturday.

We've adopted a degraded area at Fairview Park to restore to native habitat. Leading the way is restoration biologist , who will guide us through the entire process over the course of a year to:

• Remove invasive plants
• Collect native seeds
• Nurse native plants
• Plant natives
• Care for the young plants until they are established

Along the way we'll be learning which plants we see around us and what their role or impact is on our local habitats, which animal species they attract, and more. What an amazing opportunity for hand-on learning for how to better care for our local environment!

Register today, and we'll follow up with the details!

Fairview Park sits along the Santa Ana River estuary area, which makes it an important influence on these connected lands and waters, on into the ocean.

The Santa Ana River watershed drains the water and waste of three counties, emptying into the Pacific Ocean.

Cleaning up and restoring the coastal lands and waters in the SAR tidal influence zone reduces pollution from this primary regional waterway, adds native nutrients to the soil and runoff, and invites native birds, mammals, reptiles, and more back to their native habitats.

In addition to the cooperation of the City of Costa Mesa, we'll be adding to the great vernal pool restoration work the (FVPA) (with ) has been doing every 2nd Saturday, and other ongoing restoration work being done by ICRE at Fairview Park. Show up at Fairview Park on the 2nd Saturday of the month to participate in their events, or contact FVPA for more info.
