Alex Trebek Donated 74 Acres to Protect Wildlife in 1998

In 1998, Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek purchased 74 acres in the Hollywood Hills for $2 million and donated it to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. This gift nearly doubled public parkland north of Hollywood Boulevard, preserving a wildlife corridor for bobcats, coyotes, and deer. The land also supports hiking and cycling trails, helping protect local wildlife habitats amid urban Los Angeles.
