"Conservation of special landscapes is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When a willing landowner partners with a local land trust, they preserve the future of that landscape forever."
-Becky Ruffner, CALT Board President

"Through our strong partnership with the Central Arizona Land Trust on the Thumb Butte, Payne-Granite Dells, and Boyle Debusk Conservation Easements, we have enhanced our open space footprint and expanded our nationally-recognized public recreational trails network. We are very grateful for their efforts and look forward to working with them on the protection and preservation of open space in Prescott for years to come."
-Michael Lamar, City Manager for the City of Prescott.

“The conservation easement at the Frontiere Property furthers our mission while protecting a beautiful and ecologically valuable asset for today’s and future generations. That is somethingthe County, Central Arizona Land Trust, and the Army National Guard can be very proud of."
-Cynthia Nemeth, Director of Coconino County Parks and Recreation.

"We have been long time cattle ranchers in the state of Arizona since 1965 and we appreciate  conservation easements protecting rural lands."
-Claudette Haverfield, owner of Seven Spears Ranch.

Conservation Easements are legal instruments that protect open space, natural resources, and wildlife habitat.  We are delighted with the effort that the Central Arizona Land Trust made to create the Easement for Coldwater Farm. Now this vital habitat for wild animals including endangered Yellow-billed Cuckoos and the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers is safe from all future development.
-Coldwater Farm owners Garry and Denise Rogers
