Abstract:
Laguna Greenbelt, Incorporated (LGI) is an active non-profit organization founded in 1968
to preserve the open space bordering the City of Laguna Beach, California and comprising
Sycamore Hills and five canyons: Aliso, Wood, El Toro, Laguna and Morro. LGI has worked
both with and against local governments and private corporations in order to minimize
land development of the designated greenbelt. The records include correspondence, legal
papers, organizational publications, printed items, environmental impact reports, visual
materials and minutes which document the origins and evolution of LGI in its first twenty years. The collection chronicles activities and evolving philosophies of LGI and its
members, and it illustrates aspects of Orange County social and political history.
