Friends of Prescott Preserve

About

Prescott Preserve is a dedicated space for wildlife right in the heart of Palm Springs. The Preserve includes trails that are open to the public, providing an accessible, awe-inspiring nature experience. In early 2025, Friends of Prescott Preserve was officially established by a group of passionate neighbors. Our goal is to raise funds to support the day-to-day operating costs of Prescott Preserve, specific improvements at the Preserve, and the number of Prescott Preserve community volunteers.

We invite you to join a vibrant and committed group of community members who passionately support Prescott Preserve, nature’s desert gem in the heart of beautiful Palm Springs. When you become a Friend of Prescott Preserve, your contribution goes directly to Prescott Preserve to maintain this natural treasure in our community. By working together, we can celebrate this amazing amenity and support its operations.

    - Founders Reception

    The Friends of Prescott Preserve held their inaugural fundraising event hosted by Brandon Elliott and Brian Ramos at their preserve-front mid-century home in Little Beverly Hills. The steering committee presented Brad Prescott (pictured) with a statue to thank his generosity in acquiring and donating the 120-acre parcel to OLT. Mr. Prescott announced that more than 15 additional acres that were previously leased had just been purchased further protecting the open space from development. Over 100 founding members raised an initial $50,000 to fund non-grant supported activities at the preserve.
