Ayres The fiscal year 1994-1995 report of the Arizona Historical Advisory Commission (AHAC) provides an overview of Commission activities and, most importantly, summarizes "the performance of state agencies in their historic preservation activities . " and programs as required by A.RS. 41-1352. This annual report makes it abundantly clear that the past year was one characterized by the outstanding efforts of numerous individuals, departments, and agencies responsible for various aspects of the broad subject of history and historic preservation in the State of Arizona. These entities are responsible for promoting, teaching, and researching the history of Arizona and protecting and preserving its historic resources. During the course of the past fiscal year, the Commission exercised its mandate to offer advice and counsel to the legislature and to state departments and agencies. It commented on a wide variety of historic preservation issues, including several bills before the legislature. The Chair made a presentation to a House committee in support of HB 2061, a bill that included AHAC as a member of the Legislative Governmental Mall Commission, which is now codified under A.RS. 41-1361. Additionally, AHAC continued to assist the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) with its Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (!STEA) program of transportation enhancement funding by having a member serve on the proposal review committee. The Commission has a strong interest in the ADOT process for providing matching grants for enhancement projects throughout Arizona. Among other, these grants may be awarded to worthy historic preservation

  • Dark Sky Sanctuaries in Arizona
    Dark Sky Sanctuaries in Arizona Eric Menasco NPS Terry Reiners Arizona is the astrotourism capital of the United States. Its diverse landscape—from the Grand Canyon and ponderosa forests in the north to the Sonoran Desert and “sky islands” in the south—is home to more certified Dark Sky Places than any other U.S. state. In fact, no country outside the U.S. can rival Arizona’s 16 dark-sky communities and parks. Arizona helped birth the dark-sky preservation movement when, in 2001, the International Dark Sky Association (IDA) designated Flagstaff as the world’s very first Dark Sky Place for the city’s commitment to protecting its stargazing- friendly night skies. Since then, six other Arizona communities—Sedona, Big Park, Camp Verde, Thunder Mountain Pootseev Nightsky and Fountain Hills—have earned Dark Sky status from the IDA. Arizona also boasts nine Dark Sky Parks, defined by the IDA as lands with “exceptional quality of starry nights and a nocturnal environment that is specifically protected for its scientific, natural, educational, cultural heritage, and/or public enjoyment.” The most famous of these is Grand Canyon National Park, where remarkably beautiful night skies lend draw-dropping credence to the Park Service’s reminder that “half the park is after dark Of the 16 Certified IDA International Dark Sky Communities in the US, 6 are in Arizona. These include: • Big Park/Village of Oak Creek, Arizona • Camp Verde, Arizona • Flagstaff, Arizona • Fountain Hills, Arizona • Sedona, Arizona • Thunder Mountain Pootsee Nightsky- Kaibab Paiute Reservation, Arizona Arizona Office of Tourism—Dark Skies Page 1 Facebook: @arizonatravel Instagram: @visit_arizona Twitter: @ArizonaTourism #VisitArizona Arizona is also home to 10 Certified IDA Dark Sky Parks, including: Northern Arizona: Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument Offering multiple hiking trails around this former volcanic cinder cone, visitors can join rangers on tours to learn about geology, wildlife, and lava flows.
