4. Along with efforts to save Holtz Ranch, the CLCF is also currently working with the Orange Hills Task Force of the Sierra Club in an effort to preserve the area near Irvine Lake (East Orange), slated for a development proposal of 4,000 new homes by Donald Bren and the Irvine Company. Where is it? Well, its right smack dab in the middle of the Irvine Ranch Land Trust Reserve…that’s where!

5. CLCF Katrina Relief Team:
Along with wild land preservation, the CLCF has been coordinating a relief effort to Biloxi, MS. and New Orleans, LA., in which we’ve been able to send groups of contractor/construction workers to the Gulf to help rebuild homes of the elderly and uninsured, in areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina. "People in the rest of the nation have no idea the amount of damage to the Gulf Coast, particularly the areas of Biloxi, Mississippi and New Orleans, Louisiana. It would be like as if the entire coast of California had been washed away or flooded at least two miles in from the shore. Homes, businesses, hospitals, schools, transportation, etc; try to imagine everything whipped by horrific winds and flooded by 8 to 20 feet of water!" says Chay Peterson, Co-founder of the CLCF.
