Founded in 1990, Laguna Canyon Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to the preservation, protection, and stewardship of the South Coast Wilderness—a 22,000-acre network of open space surrounding Laguna Beach in Orange County, California. This land lies within the traditional territories of the Tongva and Acjachemen peoples.
Our work includes acquiring and preserving open space, restoring native habitats, maintaining and enhancing trails, and conducting vital land management across the wilderness. We offer immersive environmental education programs for students and the community, cultivating a deeper connection to the land. Through volunteer opportunities, hands-on restoration efforts, and strategic partnerships, we inspire a strong culture of environmental stewardship grounded in care for the unique coastal sage scrub ecosystem.
