Orange County Wild has an exhaustive list of links to all kinds of wild places in Orange County—this web site is the best way to begin your journey to places unknown in OC.
Natural History of Orange County
Phenomenal photos of all kinds of creatures we share Orange County with—my favorite section is “Arthropods” which includes an amazing 106 species of beetles, 70 kinds of butterflies and 153 different types of flies (by Dr. Peter Bryan of UCI’s School of Biological Sciences).
California Native Plant Society, Orange County
This friendly group is an excellent resource to help you get to know the plants you’ll find on your treks in the Orange County wilderness—and CNPS/OC field trips will take you places you might otherwise miss.
Tree of Life Nursery
Gardening with native plants helps bring a little of the wilderness home. What could be more sustainable than growing the beautiful plants that are especially adapted to thriving here? This web site is a comprehensive source of info to help you succeed.

This web site offers compelling reasons and helpful resources for getting rid of environmentally ridiculous lawns and replacing them with a beautiful landscape of native plants.
