At Fairview Park in Costa Mesa, Endemic has been restoring a 40 acre riparian woodland and wetlands. This on-going project has been for the City of Costa Mesa and its community.
Barry Nerhus has designed, planted, and monitored this site since 2009. This habitat restoration project as enabled an environmental community to gather, endangered species to live, and the general public to enjoy over the past decade. Endemic Environmental Services is contracted by the City of Costa Mesa to manage the biological resources at this 208 acres park. The non-profit ICRE that Barry founded is the instrument to provide community-based habitat projects, tours, and citizen projects.
As a volunteer with ICRE, you would be working with a group of environmental advocates to clean and restore Fairview Park to make it welcoming and habitable by local flora and fauna.

Mission Statement
The Institute for Conservation Research and Education is dedicated to environmental research and conservation, both locally and globally. The organization aims to conserve and restore habitat to be used by native wildlife through community involvement, outreach, and education.
Description
ICRE, the Institute for Conservation Research and Education, is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in Orange County, California. ICRE was formed in an effort to support environmental research and conservation both locally and globally. Southern California is one of the world’s few biodiversity hotspots- we have a very large number of diverse plant and animal species that is also highly threatened by human activity. Many of the species found here are already endangered or threatened. In order to ensure the survival of what remains in communities like ours, these species need to be understood by researching their needs and conserving their habitat. The amount of suitable natural habitat for these species is declining across the globe. For this reason, ICRE is dedicated largely to wildlife conservation and habitat restoration. ICRE seeks to fulfill these goals not just by means of our research, but also through the use of community involvement, outreach, and education.
