Desert Botanical Garden and the Conservation Aliance

Big Idea: "Improve the mountain park preserves of the Phoenix area and create local, regional and worldwide recognition for them as models that demonstrate how the sustainable use of nature preserves can be achieved within an extensive metropolitan region."

 

Transformative Impact: "In the same way that visitors to New York "must" visit Central Park, we envision the day when visitors to Phoenix "must" visit South Mountain Park, the largest municipal park in the country."
