 "A watershed is the land area for which all surface water drains to a defined point on a stream or river.  Watersheds are a common planning unit for land, water, and natural resource management.  Surface water flow is a critical input to many natural resources and ecosystems.  Therefore, defining a planning boundary as the land area of interconnected water drainages enables easy consideration of the geological, biological, and hydrological processes that drive surface and ground water availability in a region.  Further, watershed-based planning facilitates effective community engagement by encouraging participation by local community members with the many agencies with overlapping geographic and/or technical jurisdictions within a watershed." 

Our goal is to use the restoration and conservation of native plants as well as implementation of natural erosion controls  to stabilize the Aravaipa watershed. Working as a diverse group of stakeholders we can bring more projects to a greater area that will benefit wildlife, sustainable agriculture, native fish, hiking, recreational opportunities and most of all, more water and better water quality for Arizona.
