OC Water-Smart Parks
We Only Have One Home.
Cultivating Change
Orange County is home to 3.2 million people in 34 incorporated cities. We are rich in culture, history, and community, and understand that we need to adjust to thrive in our semi-arid climate. Through strong community and education partnerships, adults and children alike discover their personal impact on the health and reliability of our county’s water supply and the need to preserve and protect our precious natural resources.
