Prescott Preserve - Oswit Land Trust's Most Recent Success Story
$12 (1 hr)
The Canyon is home to endangered Big Horn Sheep, desert fox, bobcats, mountain lions, raptors, and migratory birds. Through a complex multi-year process involving grants and private donations, the newly formed Oswit Land Trust purchased this gorgeous desert landscape in perpetuity.
The Oswit Land Trust continues to build on its success and has saved three additional endangered habitats in the Coachella Valley.
Palm Hills is over 3,000 acres of spectacular hillside habitat, home to Palm Springs’ popular “goat trails,” and the result of more than 30 years of work by local conservation groups. It is one of the largest acquisitions for conservation in the history of the Coachella Valley.
Mesquite Ridge is nearly 30 acres of hillside habitat boasting diverse vegetation and home to 1/4 mile of Palm Springs’ popular South Lykken Trail.
Prescott Preserve is being restored from its former state as a golf course into a spectacular nature preserve complete with an educational nature center. In the heart of Palm Springs, 120 acres will be protected along with 1.2 miles of Tahquitz Creek, a critical wildlife corridor.
