Save Banning Ranch

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


We are a group of people that want to protect the last piece of available open space left in the Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, and Huntington Beach areas. This particular area, known as Banning Ranch, is located at the end of the Santa Ana River where it meets the Pacific Ocean and consists of wetlands, tidal marshes, coastal bluffs, and a mesa.
For more information, check out our website:

By the way, if you are interested in supporting the cause and want a free bumper sticker, just message us here on Myspace.
