Jack Nicholson and Alex Trebek Donated Land to Preserve Los Angeles Wildlife Habitats
In the 1990s, actors Jack Nicholson and Alex Trebek donated significant undeveloped land in Los Angeles to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. Nicholson gave 60 acres in Coldwater Canyon in 1994, preserving oak woodland and deer habitat that was approved for residential development. Trebek donated 74 acres in the Hollywood Hills in 1998, valued at $2 million, creating protected open space and a wildlife corridor near Runyon Canyon. Both donations contributed to conserving natural habitats amid urban development pressures.
