Located in Orange County off Ortega Highway. The road to
the Conservancy goes through Rancho Mission Viejo, still a working ranch. If you look closely at some of these pictures
you can see the white posts which are markers for the proposed 241 Toll Road. Donna O'Neill Land Conservancy
is a preserve, created as compensation or mitigation to the public for the Talega housing development in San Clemente.
