FivePoint hosted an event celebrating the groundbreaking of the OC Great Park Wildlife Corridor in Irvine, California. The corridor is the central part of the larger Irvine-Laguna Wildlife Corridor, and will run along the eastern edge of the Great Park adjacent to housing developments. This event represents a major milestone in the decades-long process of envisioning, planning, zoning, and financing a re-wilded animal corridor on a former military base. This project involved long-term collaborative partnerships among the City of Irvine, FivePoint, and Laguna Greenbelt, Inc. and its advocacy partners.
