INTRODUCING THE RANDALL PRESERVE
Orange County's Newest Nature Preserve
Discover the natural beauty of Orange County's newest and last large coastal nature preserve.
The Randall Preserve is located along the tidal zone of the Santa Ana River at the borders of Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, and Costa Mesa, in Orange County, California.
​
This website weaves together the history of the land, the planning efforts, and how you can get involved in creating a preserve that aligns with all the goals of the Randall Preserve.

ABOUT
Randall Preserve
The Randall Preserve is a stunning 387-acre landscape nestled in the heart of coastal Orange County, California. Before it was protected, it was the last remaining large privately owned undeveloped coastal area in Southern California.
Many California Native American Tribes are culturally affiliated with this site as well. The plant and animal communities from the Preserve’s lands and waters are a testament to the beauty and importance of our natural landscapes.
​
Sadly, all of these interconnected communities have been severely impacted by modern human expansion, highlighting the crucial need for this new Preserve.

PREPARING
A Future Destination
​With over 2 million people living within 15 miles of the Randall Preserve, and because it is situated between Newport Beach and Huntington Beach, the new Preserve is expected to draw regional visitors.
With incredible coastal and mountain views, a range of habitats and species, and quiet trails, the Randall Preserve is a future sanctuary for wildlife and people.
Currently the property management plan is being revised, while the former oil operators work to remove infrastructure and decontaminate soil.
We anticipate an initial phase of public access to be available no sooner than 2027.
