History
In 2004, conservation organizations and residents opposed a massive development of houses, hotels and a golf course on the site. Since that time, this property has been the biggest prize of conservation organizations in the Coachella Valley. Oswit Land Trust is proud to have facilitated the negotiations with the developer and partnered with CVMC and CVCC for its purchase.
Acres, of which OLT holds title to nearly 300. This massive property - the largest acquisition for conservation in the history of the Coachella Valley - contains critical habitat for the bighorn sheep, the desert tortoise and other native protected species. Because of its scenic character, the property is a local favorite for hikers.
