arranged for our recommendations to be presented to the Orange County Board of Supervisors in August 1974 at their formal hearing room in Santa Ana . Judith Hamburger , Jon Petke and I volunteered to prepare a nine-minute slide show with taped narration and music . Our goal was to “ melt the supervisors ’ hearts ” by showing the creek corridor ’ s natural beauty . After the presentation , the supervisors voted unanimously to accept our planning document and to instruct county staff to incorporate our recommendations into a new document : the Aliso Creek Corridor Specific Plan ( completed in 1977 ).
The study team ’ s “ Forest to the Sea ” report initiated in 1973 led directly to creek preservation guidelines outlined in the specific plan . To implement an important part of preserving Aliso Creek and adjacent open space , the County of Orange established the 4,500 acre Aliso & Wood Canyons Wilderness Park in 1990 . This open space adds a key piece to the 22,000- acre Laguna Greenbelt .
In 1975 , the board re-appointed Ron Yeo to the OC Planning Commission , and I was appointed as the public member to the Aliso Creek Corridor Planning Task Group , which worked on the details of the plan implementation . Now in his ninetieth year , Ron continues his active environmental stewardship in his home community of Corona del Mar . Many of the other study team members have now passed away , including my good friends Jon Petke , Judith Hamburger , Steve Malefyt and Fred Lang , who each contributed significantly to the project ’ s success .
The nine-minute slide show presentation was recently digitally re-mastered . It will soon be on permanent exhibit at the Aliso & Wood Canyons Wilderness Park Visitors Center in Laguna Niguel . The presentation can also be viewed on the Laguna Greenbelt , Inc website , Lagunagreenbelt . org .
These presentations honor all those with the foresight and dedication to save the beauty of our creeks and open spaces for future generations and encourage us to continue and protect these achievements .
