Come out and make a ruckus in front of the Irvine Company headquarters in Newport Beach with Orange County Earth First! Donald Bren and the Irvine Company are making plans to pave 6,800 acres of pristine wilderness in the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains to make way for 3,950 luxury homes. The area, better known as Orange Hills, constitutes a crucial wildlife corridor and is home to thousands of species of plants and animals, many already endangered. Development will only mean more traffic and pollution-less wilderness. Let them know we have enough track-homes & concrete!

What: Lively rally and street theater performances

Where: Irvine Company headquarters,

       550 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach

We believe that it is not enough to simply preserve some of our remaining wilderness. We need to preserve it all and take steps towards rehabilitating what we have already destroyed. In this effort, we utilize everything from grassroots organizing and involvement in the legal process to non-violent civil disobedience and other forms of creative resistance.\r\n\r\nGet involved!
