KenVdMEfforts to stop real estate developers buying land around the Hollywood Sign have raised 9 million dollars. The development of homes is viewed as disastrous to local wildlife habitats as well as ruining the view of the iconic Hollywood sign. 3 million is still needed before a deadline of April the 14th, but with donations from some of Hollywoods biggest names including Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and 20th Century Fox, the signs look good for Trust for Public Land, TPL, to raise the necessary funds. The President of TPL Will Rogers put it to the Los Angeles Community to help raise the outstanding amount.
