ANOTHER victory for Oswit Land Trust, conservation, wildlife and hikers! Nearly 4 years ago, Oswit Land Trust saw a for sale sign go up on a 30 acre property adjacent to the wildly popular South Lykken hiking trail.
Several years ago Oswit Land Trust (OLT) shared with the community its vision of taking failing or closed golf courses and converting them to a beautiful nature preserve. Two of these golf courses, Bel Air Greens and Mesquite Golf, were actively for sale for development. OLT began diligently working on how to acquire both of these properties and save them as open space.
Oswit Land Trust (OLT), together with the Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy (CVMC) and Coachella Valley Conservation Commission (CVCC) is thrilled to announce the conservation of over 3,000 acres of land above the Rimrock Vons shopping center known as “Palm Hills” and the “goat trails”.
