Santa Margarita River Trail Preserve

Description :

The Wildlands Conservancy recently expanded its preserve system into the vulnerable South Coast ecoregion of Southern California through the acquisition of five miles along the Santa Margarita River, one of the last remaining wild, free-flowing rivers in Southern California. Through TWC’s stewardship, the 1,384-acre water-blessed property will be preserved within California’s fragile Coastal Sage Scrub and Chaparral sub-ecoregion, within what is recognized as one of Earth’s 25 hotspots of threatened biodiversity.
