RLC owns and manages the 358-acre Cienega Canyon Preserve, an area of diverse habitats and terrain located in the southeastern portion of San Timoteo Canyon. Habitats of the Preserve include riparian woodland along a perennial creek, coastal sage scrub and chaparral on the steep rugged hillsides, and oak woodland nestled the valleys. In the central portion of the Preserve lies a seasonally-flooded cienega that is fed by surface and subsurface springs. RLC engages the public and other partners in habitat restoration programs, outdoor recreation, and education activities on the Preserve.
