Don’t miss out on the rare opportunity to join us for a beautiful 2-3-hour guided walk through some of The Toll Roads’ protected environmental sites – usually closed to the public. This year, we are offering a behind the "seeds" look at both our Upper Chiquita Canyon and Bonita Creek sites. The tours are led by a restoration ecologist, an ornithologist and a wildlife biologist who work with The Toll Roads to restore these sites to their native habitat and preserve them for generations to come. These guided walks offer a glimpse into Orange County habitats that few have ever seen.

This 1,182-acre conservation area located near Wagon Wheel and Coto de Caza, in Rancho Santa Margarita, was set aside with construction of the 241 Toll Road. A moderate 2-3-hour guided walk gives participants a peek at an area rich with coastal sage scrub, oak woodland, grassland and natural drainage habitats. The tour includes some hills and closed-toe, sturdy hiking shoes are recommended, along with sunscreen and a water bottle.
