Listening to the Land Listening to the Land ARIZONA LANDAND WATER TRUST Annual Report 2008 The Trust’s Mission Arizona Land and Water Trust protects southern Arizona’s vanishing western landscapes, working farms and ranches and wildlife habitat by acquiring and managing sensitive lands. We believe the preservation of southern Arizona’s landscapes and ecosystems to be vital to the well-being of all residents, present and future.

Diana Freshwater, Executive Director Cover: San Pedro River Looking South to Mexico (Annie Griffiths Belt); Opposite: Sopori Ranch (Joseph Belfiore); Above: Sands Ranch (Arizona Land and Water Trust). The Connection between Ranching and Conservation Arizona Land and Water Trust reflects on our legacy as we face the future—ancient native peoples who built canal systems that supported substantial farming communities; early ranchers who operated vast working ranches and sparked small rural towns; and a remarkable natural ecosystem linked by our desert rivers, valleys and sky islands. Today, as our awareness of the landscape around us is renewed through the pressures of growth, drought and quickly changing lifestyles, this legacy helps us see into the future and plan for it. During the months leading up to the landmark 2004 Pima County bond election that secured $174 million for land conservation, citizens learned that large, intact areas of grassland habitat can contribute 2 up to 23% of the groundwater recharged to Tucson’s aquifers. Grassland ranches sustain our groundwater recharge, helping not only to protect the sources of our water supply but also to keep the water quality clean. When working landscapes are protected, we see a future with a sense of place for us and our children— the chance to see the beaver and river otter in their natural habitats; to enjoy iconic riparian forests; mesquite bosques and marshes. As a small agile organization strongly partnered with local stakeholders, the Trust is positioned to protect vast landscapes that support habitat and ecosystem resilience in the face of drought, growth, and climate change. Ways of Giving Contributions are vital to Arizona Land and Water Trust’s success in preserving open space in southern Arizona, and can take many forms. Listed below are options you may wish to consider. • Cash or Credit Card • Appreciated Securities • Appreciated Real Estate • Matching Gifts through your Employer • Gifts In-Kind “A mud turtle (Kinosternon sp.)

    Tumacacori Potential Wilderness Evaluation Report Tumacacori Potential Wilderness Area Evaluation [PW-05-03-D2-001] Area Overview Size and Location: The Tumacacori Potential Wilderness Area (PWA) encompasses 37,330 acres. This area is located in the Tumacacori and Atacosa Mountains, which are part of the Nogales Ranger District of the Coronado National Forest in southeastern Arizona (see Map 4 at the end of this document). The Tumacacori PWA is overlapped by 30,305 acres of the Tumacacori Inventoried Roadless Area, comprising 81 percent of the PWA. Vicinity, Surroundings and Access: The Tumacacori Potential Wilderness Area is approximately 50 miles southeast of Tucson, Arizona. The Tumacacori PWA is centrally located within the mountain range and encompasses an area from Sardina and Tumacacori Peaks at the northern end to Ruby Road at the southern end and from the El Paso Natural Gas Line on the eastern side to Arivaca Lake on its western side. The PWA is adjacent to the Pajarita Wilderness Area, Arivaca Lake and Peña Blanca Lake. Both Pena Blanca and Arivaca Lakes are managed by the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Interstate 19 (I-19) connects the Tucson metropolitan area to the City of Nogales and the incorporated community of Sahuarita. The unincorporated communities of Green Valley, Arivaca Junction-Amado, Tubac, Tumacacori-Carmen and Rio Rico, Arizona and Sonora, Mexico are within close proximity to the eastern side of the Tumacacori Mountains and the PWA. State Highway 289 provides access from I-19 across private and National Forest System lands into the Tumacacori Ecosystem Management Area to Peña Blanca Lake and Ruby Road (NFS Road 39).

Under this act, the Arizona Bureau of Mines, created in 1915, was renamed and reorganized and its mission was redefined and expanded. The Bureau of Geology and Mineral Technology, a Division of the University of Arizona administered by the Arizona Board of Regents, is charged by the Legislature to conduct research and provide information about the geologic setting of the State, including its mineral and energy resources, its natural attributes, and its natural hazards and limitations. In order to carry out these functions, the Bureau is organized into two branches: Geological Survey Branch. Staff members conduct research, do geologic mapping, collect data, and provide information about the geologic setting of the State to: a) assist in developing an understanding of the geologic factors that influ ence the locations of metallic, non-metallic, and mineral fuel resources in Arizona, and b) assist in developing an understanding of the geologic materials and pro cesses that control or limit human activities in the state.

  • Mineral Potential of Eastern Pima County, Arizona
    MINERAL POTENTIAL OF EASTERN PIMA COUNTY, ARIZONA by Southwestern Minerals Exploration Association Tucson, Arizona July 15, 2001 ARIZONA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CONTRIBUTED REPORT 01-B This report was written under the direction of Charles P. Miller, Coordinator for the Sonoran Desert Conservation Project, with contributions by: Russell Corn Jonathan DuHamel Dirk Den-Baars Ted Eyde Richard Hahman Grover Heinrichs James Loghry Kenneth Lovstrom Robert Metz James Sell Southwestern Minerals Exploration Association Tucson, Arizona July 15, 2001 PREAMBLE As a result of the large contribution of minerals to national, regional, and local economies, resource assessment in support of land-use planning is one of the most consequential activities to be performed. Decisions made today will affect society for generations to come. Resource Science, Inc. 1994 Land-use planners are increasingly required to respond to land-use conflicts between mineral industries and alternative land uses. In resolving these conflicts, planners seek to be responsive to current and future needs of society when choosing between varied, alternative land uses. Land-use planning, however, has increasingly become a resolution of competing ideologies, and land-use planners are struggling to acquire the objective information necessary to make informed decisions. An increased understanding of natural science has proven useful in this regard. If proposed land- uses can be cast within a holistic model of the natural world, then more informed decisions are possible. This report seeks to convey to land-use planners an essential piece of information, an inventory of mineral resource potential across eastern Pima County. Mineral production has always been viewed as an essential industry, not only to generate wealth and provide employment, but also for the array of products that are consumed by a society.
