| Fireworks Safety Tips |
Nellie Gail Ranch is an Equestrian Community and heightened courtesy is requested to keep our equestrian and livestock animals safe. Fireworks can be hazardous when misused, and personal fireworks are not permitted in Laguna Hills. Horses are prey animals with a strong instinct to flee from sudden, loud noises. Panicked horses can bolt and run toward fences or harm themselves in stalls when frightened potentially becoming injured. An additional reason to avoid personal fireworks is fire safety.When hosting barbecues, keep grills a safe distance from homes, fences, and trees. Never leave a grill unattended, and clean grease buildup before use to prevent flare-ups. The following link is to a portion of the Police Services July Newsletter outlining fireworks rules and safety tips on pg 1 and fire safety on pg 2.Have a happy and safe 4th of July on this 50th year of Nellie Gail Ranch and 250th year of our country! |

This Week in Nellie Gail Ranch
From the Week ending May 8, 2026
   Turf Conversion ProjectA section of streetscape on the West side of Nellie Gail Road across from Dapple Grey Dr. is scheduled for conversion of turf to drought tolerant planters. Irrigation has been turned off this week and turf will begin to brown out. Demo and grading will be scheduled the week of May 11th which will be followed by planting. Metropolitan Water District (MWDOC) turf and irrigation head rebates are offsetting approximately 50% of the expense. More of these projects are anticipated over the next several years leading up to a state mandated 2029 “nonfunctional” turf conversion deadline. Four Strawberry Trees will be planted along with a colorful mix of plants shown on the attachment. View Here  The Watering Hole is currently experimenting with different types of wood to help reduce the amount of smoke produced from the oven. They are also exploring alternative methods for lighting the fire during startup to further minimize smoke. As a friendly reminder, outside food and drinks are not permitted at the club. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Register Here |
