Aliso Creek SUPER Project

The SUPER project is a proposal by the County of Orange to stabilize the existing natural creek location by channelizing the portions of existing edges with concrete and by building a series of dam like structures.

Irvine Regional Wildlife Corridor

Laguna Greenbelt, Inc. recently embarked on an initiative to complete and implement the Irvine Regional Wildlife Corridor. The wildlife corridor when completed will link the Cleveland National Forest and the Laguna Greenbelt/South Coast Wilderness area together.

Laguna Canyon Development

Construction of a new 4,550 unit residential development, called Laguna Crossing and Hidden Canyon will likely begin in Summer 2010. The new housing development planned by the Irvine Company and approved by the City of Irvine will occupy existing open space land adjacent to the Laguna Coast Wilderness Park.

Redevelopment of the Aliso Creek Golf Course

The potential redevelopment of the existing Aliso Creek Course is another challenge to Aliso Creek. A newly reconfigured golf course surrounded by a resort hotel and condominiums are all planned at the southern edge of the Laguna Greenbelt.
