Following two years of restricted public access during remediation, the future habitat stewardship of the Randall Preserve will restore public access to the property and plan for the creation of a premiere coastal preserve. Dudek is completing biological surveys, mapping, and research for the project. Additionally, our work with CCA to gather community feedback will help inform the design of the preserve, creating a space that balances ecosystem protection and public enjoyment. #Dudekian Principal Restoration Ecologist Michael Sweesy says: "Dudek is honored to support CCA, MRCA, and local communities in designing a program that balances public access with the protection of unique ecology in coastal Orange County. The Randall Preserve will serve as a lasting refuge for both people and important wildlife.” #survey #ecology #publicoutreach
