The Big Canyon Creek Restoration Project is a $5 million (estimate) restoration of the 55-acre Big Canyon Nature Park between Jamboree Road and Upper Newport Bay. The project attempts to:
- increase valuable habitat by increasing the area subject to Bay
tidal flows;
- improve water quality in Big Canyon Creek;
- allow for better public access into the Nature Park;
- remove non-native vegetation and replace it with native
plantings;
- provide for interpretive signage which assists the public in understanding the habitat.
