Countywide : Conference to Weigh Preservation Issues
The third annual Orange County history conference Saturday will be devoted especially to issues involving county preservation.
Leland L. Estes, coordinator for the 9 a.m. event at Chapman College, said: “Los Angeles has become preservation conscious in the last four or five years, but Orange County has remained neutral.” “I’m hoping that we can get people to coalesce, and I think the conference is a start.”
The conference will include 27 panel discussions on such subjects as conserving the natural environment, the history of water in Orange and restoration of historic homes. A walking tour of historic residences in Old Towne Orange is also scheduled.
Representatives from the Laguna Canyon Conservancy and the Santiago Creek Greenway Alliance will lead discussions on land preservation.
Registration will be $20 at the door and will begin at 8 a.m. For information, call (714) 997-6621.
