Gopher Problems Near Laguna Hills — Sheep Hills, Aliso Creek, and Open Space

Laguna Hills is a compact planned community in the Saddleback Valley, surrounded on multiple sides by open space preserves and natural terrain that create persistent gopher pressure throughout its residential footprint. The city's HOA communities, maintained greenbelts, and the open space corridors that define its boundaries combine to make gopher activity a regular occurrence in many neighborhoods.

The Main Gopher Sources in Laguna Hills

Aliso and Wood Canyons Regional Park borders Laguna Hills on its western and southern edges, preserving 4,500 acres of canyon terrain, grassland, and coastal sage scrub. This is one of the largest regional parks in Orange County and one of the most significant natural gopher habitat areas adjacent to the city. The park's extensive grassland sections sustain large natural gopher populations that push eastward and northward into the Laguna Hills residential communities along the park boundary. Properties in the western and southern portions of the city — particularly along Moulton Parkway and the communities near the park's northern edge — experience the most direct pressure from this source.

Sheep Hills Park preserves open hillside terrain within the city's residential footprint. This in-community natural area sustains local gopher populations in the middle of the residential development rather than just at the city's edges, creating pressure that distributes across the surrounding neighborhoods from an interior source.

Aliso Creek corridor runs through Laguna Hills providing a riparian habitat corridor that connects the natural terrain of the surrounding open space to the city's interior. The creek's undisturbed banks and native vegetation sustain gopher populations that distribute along the corridor and push into adjacent residential streets.

HOA greenbelts and community parks throughout Laguna Hills's master-planned communities — including the extensive greenbelt systems connecting the city's various residential villages — function as gopher corridors connecting the natural open space at the city's edges to residential yards throughout the city. This is the same HOA greenbelt dynamic seen throughout Orange County's master-planned communities.

Laguna Hills High School and the city's school campuses maintain irrigated athletic fields that function as neighborhood-level gopher reservoirs for surrounding residential blocks.
