Back to Nature Restoration brings conservation to Orange County and California wildlands, through education and restoration programs.

BTN features native plants as a centralizing theme. BTN promotes native plants, as well as habitat restoration and preservation by providing service learning and volunteer based habitat restoration programs.

Through outreach and education, Back to Natives strives to involve the community in the process of ecological restoration and conservation. We believe that a little "ecological enlightenment" and a chance to “get your hands dirty” is the best way to improve relations between people and Nature.
