Alex Trebek, a famous television host known for Jeopardy!, donated 74 acres of his Hollywood Hills property to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy in 1998. [^2]

State appraisers valued the roughly 17,000-square-foot property at $15 million, making it the most valuable property ever donated to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area at that point. [^3]

The conservancy envisioned the estate becoming an environmental research centre, space for visiting scholars, and a site for conferences with eventual public access. [^4]

The donated land serves as a wildlife corridor intended to allow deer, coyotes, and other animals to move between different areas of the Santa Monica Mountains. [^5]

The donation nearly doubled the amount of land designated for public parks in that sector of the city. [^6]

The Los Angeles Times reported in 1998 that the property donated by Trebek had an estimated value of 2 million dollars. [^7]

Joseph T. Edmiston, the conservancy's executive director, stated that the donation was the most valuable property ever donated to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area at that point. [^8]
