Friends of Badger Mountain was formed in 2003 to preserve the area’s local ridges and scenic views and open spaces. The organization first raised money to purchase 574 acres of land that were for sale on the crest and slopes of Badger Mountain and keep it as open space. The Badger Mountain Centennial Preserve was created in 2005.

The Bechtel donation was paid out over three years and supported the Friends of Badger Mountain campaign to raise $1.5 million to purchase land and construct a trail to the summit of Candy Mountain. The 200-acre Candy Mountain Preserve was purchased and dedicated in 2016.
