The Irvine Ranch Conservancy in Southern California will begin efforts to reduce the risk of fire at the Bommer Canyon Preserve this month after it received a $1 million state grant in October, at the request of Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris.

Funding will also go toward restoring a 50-acre portion of the preserve, according to conservancy officials.
