What is Banning Ranch?

It is home to an abundance of increasingly rare coastal vegetation and wildlife, including many threatened and endangered species. It serves as a vital link between neighboring publicly owned and extremely sensitive ecosystems on Talbert Nature Preserve and Fairview Park.

What could happen?

Developers are planning to build 1375 residential dwellings including 65 foot tall affordable housing high rises.  Plans call for roads capable of handling 34,000 cars per day.

Why Save Banning Ranch?

1. TRAFFIC GRIDLOCK - Up to 34,000 trips are planned for our impacted streets.

2. LAST OPEN SPACE – It is one of the last privately owned open areas on the entire Southern California coast.

3. OUT OF WATER - According to a growing number of studies, California's water supply is not adequate due to environmental restrictions and the impact of Global Warming.

4. AN IMPORTANT ECOSYSTEM DESTROYED - Banning Ranch is an example of California's original ecosystem with many rare plants and animals that will die under this development.

5. A FUTURE WITHOUT NATURE - A citizen planning committee wisely said Banning Ranch should remain open space. Will we leave it wild, so kids many years from now can explore nature?
