Protecting the FUTURE by preserving our land and water TODAY.

LANDAND The Trust is committed to protecting southern WATER ’s western landscapes, its heritage of TRUST working farms and ranches, wildlife habitat and the water resources that sustain them.

2 Cover: Gunsight Pass (David Putnam) A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Do tough economic times make conservation a luxury we can’t afford? Or is land and water conservation an evergreen imperative, rain or shine? Previously available sources of conservation funding, such as Open Space Bond initiatives and State grant programs, seem to have all but evaporated like a desert puddle in the summertime. In spite of economic drought, Arizona Land and Water Trust’s creative spirit thrives. We believe that Arizona’s western landscapes, streams and rivers cannot wait for the next bond cycle, and our perseverance is paying off with the discovery of new and previously untapped resources for conservation.

Even with the down economy of 2010-11 the Trust proceeded swiftly to pursue rare land protection opportunities. We preserved important migratory bird habitat on the with private funding and a grant under the North American Wetlands Conservation Act. We also recently partnered with the Jelks family to protect their grassland ranch in the San Pedro River Watershed with funding from the Department of Defense.

Looking forward, Arizona Land and Water Trust’s Board of Directors has invested its time and resources wisely by applying for accreditation by the Land Trust Alliance. Accreditation will enhance the Trust’s ability to attract funds from new sources that are looking for a secure and productive investment of their conservation dollars. In the coming months the Land Trust Alliance will complete its review of Arizona Land and Water Trust’s operations as part of the year long accreditation process.

With a long-range perspective in mind, we have also created new opportunities for our donors to support the Trust. Planned giving (making arrangements for future financial support of the Trust through a Will, Revocable Living Trust, Gift Annuities, or any number of other charitable and estate planning options) allows donors to invest creatively and comfortably in future conservation projects in southern Arizona.

The mission of conserving our precious land, air and water for future generations should not be slowed by prolonged economic drought. Arizona Land and Water Trust is moving full steam ahead to secure that future. We gratefully acknowledge your support and urge you to continue to help us in our efforts.

Sincerely,

Alex Hobson Arizona Land and Water Trust Board President

Arizona’s rich landscape is a treasure we’ve inherited, and which we feel compelled to leave to future generations. With help from donors like you, Arizona Land and Water Trust is hard at work protecting that treasure today. Our work has urgency. Although Arizona’s growth rate has slowed, its pace will certainly resume and we simply cannot let the important places slip away in the future because we did not act now.

THE INVESTMENT AND THE RETURN In the past year the Trust protected another 1,680 acres adding wetland habitat, Class A grassland, and creek-side riparian woodland habitat to the list of natural assets permanently protected for future generations. At an average cost of $1,648 per acre, these three projects offer multiple benefits: securing wildlife movement corridors and migratory bird habitat; expanding existing protected areas; and preserving functioning watersheds.

Chiricahua Leopard Frog 12 HIGH HAVEN RANCH AND THE BARCHAS FAMILY One chilly night in 1986 at High Haven Ranch near Sonoita, Sam Barchas roused his grown daughter, Sarah, from sleep and told her to bundle up. She followed him out the door of the old ranch house and scrambled in the dark to the top of the hill behind the house. There, with cows lowing in the valley below, Sarah watched Halley’s Comet blaze across the dark sky. Watching that natural wonder with her beloved father is just one of many vivid memories Sarah cherishes from her lifetime of living with the land.

The second oldest of eight children, Sarah was 18 when her parents moved the family away from big-city living in Los Angeles to their first small family ranch near Sierra Vista. Sarah was instantly smitten with ranch life and her ties to the land have only grown deeper with time. For most of the past 44 years, this extraordinary rancher, teacher, librarian, singer and songwriter has called High Haven Ranch home.

Situated in one of the most beautiful and productive grassland areas north of Sonoita along Highway 83, High Haven Ranch is characterized by rolling hills and majestic oaks. It has operated as a working cattle ranch for close to 100 years. The Barchas family has been raising predominantly Brangus cattle there since 1967. A great many generations of heifers have grazed in these hills, and Sarah, at 73, can recall each and every one of the animals by name and personality.

Sarah’s father passed away two years after witnessing Halley’s Comet from the hill, leaving Sarah and her mother, Cecile, to manage the ranch. Cecile passed away after a long illness just this year, six days shy of her 99th birthday.

Having worked with Arizona Land and Water Trust (and Southeast Arizona Land Trust) to protect key portions of the ranch located on the east side of Highway 83, Sarah now has only one wish: to keep the rest of the ranch intact in perpetuity. Sarah describes ranching as “an opportunity to live in harmony with the land, nature and wildlife through responsible and respectful use of the land. It is not an easy or economical way to try to earn a living. But it can be a deeply satisfying and fulfilling way of life that can High Haven Ranch (Jessica Fraver, ALWT) renew one’s spirit.” (Inset Top) Rudy Barchas; (Inset Center) Rudy Barchas; 13 (Inset Bottom) Jim Rorabaugh, U.S.FW.
