InY our October 17, 2000 communication to Interested Steering Committee Members and members of the public, you indicated that comments were invited relatingup to the SDCP to January 1st, 2001.

Congress Tucson, Arizona 85701 Re : SONORAN DESERT CONSERVATION PLAN (SDCP) - COMMENTS Dear Chairman Grijalva: ThankY ou for the opportunity to comment on the Preliminary Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan (SDCP) that was accepted by the Pima County Board of Supervisors in September 2000. The Town of Oro Valley also appreciates the willingness of the CountyAdministrator's office to accept the attached comments from us, even though the original comments were requested by January 1st 2001. The attached comments represent our initial review of the SDCP and we look forward to providing additional input to thep lan as this significant document is fully developed during the next two years. The SDCP, as it isp resented in this preliminary form, is consistent with the policies in Oro Valley's General Plan and the work we have completed to date on our environmentally sensitive lands (ESL) project. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss the attached Oro Valley comments with you and others from Pima County who are guiding this project. Thank you. Sincerel Paul H. Loomis, Mayor Attachment (1) C: Oro Valley Town Council Members Pima County Board of Supervisors Senator Kyl Senator McCain Congressman Jim Koble Congressman Ed Pastor Mayors of S. Tucson,Tucson, Sahuarita & Marana David Harlow, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Chuck Sweet,Town Manager Chuck Huckelberry, County Administrator ORO VALLEY COMMENTS Relating to: Preliminary Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan (SDCP) (February 2nd 2001) Intergovernmental Coordination We look forward to developing a cooperative agreement for SDCP planning. We have a lot to offer in terms of staff expertise as well as the zoning ordinances we have developed and the data we have collected for native plant, riparian habitat and Environmentally Sensitive Lands (ESL) protection. We also appreciate that the government working group has started, which should provide jurisdictions with an opportunity to participate and coordinate our actions. That opportunity is not currently available in the current steering committee format due in part to the size of the committee but also because the scope of their work is different. Public Participation While Oro Valley only comprises only 1°/0 of the plan area, three key areas are in or immediately adjacent to Oro Valley: (1) Big Wash-Honey Bee Wash; (2) the cactus ferruginous pygmy owl (CF P0) critical habitat and ironwood communities in the Tortolita Fan Area; and (3) the State land to the north of Oro Valley that provides the potential for a connection between the Tortolita and Catalina Mountains. The Preliminary Plan calls for 15 public meetings—this may not be enough for meaningful public input. At least two should be in this area yet none are listed for this area (the closest one is at the Nanini library). We are willing to help arrange, publicize, and facilitate meetings in this area. Funding/Implementation Costs have not been identified. Implementation priorities and schedules have not been fully established so it is unclear how money that is collected will be spent. Our concern is that Oro Valley needs to receive its fair share of the funds that are collected from its citizens. This is particularly true for impact fees that, by law, need to be tied to a specific benefit area. These fees have to be structured to ensure that the benefits received relate to where the fees are being collected. It is important to indicate where existing, designated funding, such as the 1997 bonds will implement the objectives of this plan. Property tax recommended; why not consider use of sales tax? Cultural Resources and The Plan recognizes the importancehigh level of threat to resources in the as having a high potential for not Tortolita fan area yet that area isrecognized conservation because of two oversights: 1. The Plan states that Oro Valley's resource preservation ordinance provisions are minimal". This is untrue, or at least unfair in regards to presentation of the Countyordinance. Essentially our provisions are the same as those in the County—we don't mandate or den but we do have the authority to approvey preservation, mitigation plans. Through this ordinance we were recently able to stop excavation of the Honey Bee Village site. of State Land as providing a medium level of 2. The designation to private land is not supported. State Land is protection compared only given a higher level of protection by the preserve initiative and this covers only a small portion of State land. Mountain Parks The Town supports the expansion of Tortolita Mountain Park and Catalina State Park as proposed by the Plan. We have recently amended our General Plan to show virtually all of that area as openspace. We look forward to opportunities to p work with the County and the State to preserve the area and create a corridor between the Tortolitas and Catalinas. However it is not clear from the Plan if this is a priority. Riparian Protection, Management and Restoration The plan should be revised to: (1) extend the "retain/restore natural flood plain" north from the CDO Big Wash confluence along Big Wash and into Honey Bee CAP-based riparian/recharge project at the confluence of Big Wash; (2) show a CAP ba (3)Wash and Honey Bee Wash, andthe "Future River Parks" designation needs to be shown along the CDO upto Catalina State Park and along the Big Wash up to Tangerine Road. The Town has taken steps to implement all of these and they should be recognized in the Plan. Closing We look forward to meaningful participation in the future. • MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and Town Council From: Chuck Sweet, Town Manager Date: 05/14/01 Re: Draft Biological Reserve Last week I received a letter and map from Chuck Huckelberry concerning the biological reserve proposed for the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan. The area described as "biological p p AdvisoryTeam and was biological reserve" was produced by the Science Technical released to the media and public last month in a format that was not discernable at the local level. The map just received is discernable and clearly shows a significant portion of Oro Valley within the reserve. The County has invited our comment and input and we are arranging meetings for that purpose. Please forward your comments and concerns to my office so that we can produce a coordinated response.

While becoming more vulnerable to development pressures,ranching is a significant land use in its own right,and ranch lands have been a significant determinant of a definable urban boundary. • Through ranch conservation: • The metropolitan urban boundary is better defined; • The heritage and culture of the West are preserved; • An important rural industry is maintained for a diversified local economy; • Water resources and groundwater are conserved; • The natural landscape is preserved to provide unfragmented open space and habitat critical for 4.4 maintaining sustainable and diverse ecosystems and wildlife corridors; • Virtually all of the preliminary biological reserve is comprised of ranch lands andof ranch43*±44 • Pima County has 2.9 million acres classified as grazing lands and ranks third of all Arizona counties in grazing land. Eastern Pima County has 1.4 million acres. • Ranch lands in Pima County were heavily impacted by uncontrolled grazing and overstocking during periods of drought between 1880 and 1934,but they have improved in condition since that time. In many areas,improvements in management have significantly enhanced the stability,productivity and wildlife habitat conditions of ranch lands. • Unlike the 1891 estimate of between 150,000 - 200,000 cattle and sheep in Pima County,the livestock population today in eastern Pima County is much reduced to approximately 20,000 animals. • Most ranches in Pima County are family-owned enterprises,comprised of a patchwork of ownership with about 210,000 acres of private lands committed to ranching. Grazing leases comprise some 818,000 acres of State Trust land,324,000 acres of BLM land,and 254,000 acres of Forest Service lands. • More than 1 million acres of all remaining ranch lands and unfragmented open space in eastern Pima County could be developed in the future. • Once sold,private ranch lands are typically developed as subdivisions,which fragments the landscape, destroys natural habitat and wildlife corridors, creates leap-frog development and urban sprawl, and makes adjoining lands even more vulnerable to urbanization and fragmentation. • State Trust grazing leases,some 818,000 acres,account for more than 50 percent of all ranch lands,and currently more than 50,000 acres of State Trust lands are classified for development. ziivA • Urban growth in the Tucson metropolitan area consumes about 13 acres of land each day,and nearly 40 percent of this growth is unregulated development. • Ranch land fragmentation is greatest within a 25 mile radius of the Tucson urban core where land values are increasing and lands are being converted to urban uses. • If grazing leases are used to define the current urban/rural interface,nearly 700 square miles are available for urban growth and expansion in the Tucson metropolitan area. For comparative purposes,the cities of Phoenix and Los Angeles today have an identical incorporated area of 470 square miles. • Land conservation tools available to property owners and Pima County can assist in the long term conservation of private ranch lands;however,the future disposition of State Trust grazing lands leaves the potential for ranch conservation uncertain. • Both long-term grazing leases and a purchase of development rights program for willing sellers are needed if ranch conservation is to be successful in preserving what remains of our natural and cultural landscape —our common ground. ,........„.,,, . 4., ,, ,,, „;-',” ,. = Cm, ,-;::'t-, :(iti* Siii 4 '14.. ......4 e= "ft."'

Pima County is rich in history, culture, regional character, and diversity, all of which contribute greatly to our collective cultural heritage and community identity. Cultural and historical resources are those places that are created by and reflect upon the people who have lived for thousands of years, in what is today Pima County. These places include archaeological sites of both prehistoric and historic times,buildings, structures and engineered features, as well as historically defined landscapes,and places of traditional cultural importance to the beliefs,practices, and historical identity of traditional communities. • Pima County has been continuously occupied for approximately 12,000 years from the end of the last Ice Age to the present day. • A total of 3984 sites archaeological sites are known in the county yet only 12.1%of the land base has ever been formally investigated. • More than 4000 historic buildings have been recorded, most of which are within Tucson city limits. In general,these represent settlement during the 19th and early 20th centuries when Tucson emerged from a fortified village to a major metropolitan center. • There are 121 places listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the nation's honor role of historically important properties. Twenty-five of these are districts that contain multiple buildings or archaeological sites. The City of Tucson has 16 such districts alone, five of which are also city designated districts. Ajo has recently been approved for listing. • There are ten historic communities, each of which is 50 years old or older. These are Silverbell, Marana,Rillito,Catalina,Redington,Vail,Continental,Sahuarita,Arivaca,Sasabe,and Tucson itself. • Thirteen communities have been abandoned and are now ghost towns, including Greaterville and Total Wreck in the Cienega Valley,Twin Buttes and Helvetia in the Upper Santa Cruz Valley,Cerro Colorado in the Altar Valley,the Silverbell mining camp in the Avra Valley, and Clarkstown on the west side of the Tohono O'odham reservation. These reflect the importance of mining silver,gold,lead and copper,in Pima County's history. • There are three historically significant trails. The Anza Trail of 1775-1776 was used by Captain Juan Bautista de Anza in his excursions to the Pacific Coast. The Camino del Diablo linked Sonora with southern California during the 18th and 19th centuries. Finally,the Butterfield Trail,an overland mail route between St. Louis and San Francisco that was used between 1858 and 1861. • Five traditional cultural places have been identified, four of which are important to the Tohono O'odham Nation and one that is important to the Mexican American community in Tucson. Conservation efforts should be directed at the level of the landscape within each subarea to ensure that cultural and historical resources are protected along with the contextual evidence of past human interactions with the environment through time and across space. Priorities for conserving lands containing cultural and historical resources should be based on the integrity of the subarea,the cultural resources sensitivity of specific areas within the subarea,and the threat of future land disturbance. The long-term protection of cultural resources requires that the public be informed about the past,its fragile and non-renewable cultural and historical properties, and engaged in saving their heritage for the future. ;_ I-- ,s • N __._. :fit f. c tail '':l'.-', ' ::*.: Y •„�` ' 44411111-P CD 0 Q (4 N N CU -1' -5 T (i 0 g 'car-----,-.4.o.--- f t L C= C1M .F, u) . cti -,...--., g 7;5 - ,-- ,,, n „' ,.

Overview During the course of the next twelve months County staff will issue three drafts of the major Dur g documents that constitute the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, and at the same time, we will produce drafts of the Comprehensive Plan as part of the Major Plan Amendment process the Board initiated in September of 2000. This will place the Board in the position of adopting Elements of the Comprehensive Plan by December 31, 2001, within the time frames set out by state law. This memorandumP rovides a schedule for the Board's information, and a description of how natural resource and urban issues will be fully integrated into a Sonoran Desert Conservation and Comprehensive Land Use Plan. II. The Interdependence of the Biological and Development Reserves As the factual informationsupporting su ortin both the natural and urban planning processes unfolds and becomes integrated through the Sonoran Desert Conservation and Comprehensive Land Use Plan, we will see that no real basis exists for framing development andconservation issues as necessary opponents in the community's conversation about how we grow. To begin, the biological and development reserves that will be the result of the Plan are physically interdependent, with bio- planningserving as the form maker for our future urban landscapes. And, within the broader tradition oflannin theory there is a common set of principles that can be seen in both the new and P 9 energetic school of biological reserve design, and in the time honored school of urban design. Whereas . the function of the biological reserve is to make entire landscapes viable for wildlife through conservation and habitat creating processes, a development reserve, at its best, will organize the features of the built environment so they transcend individual parcels and present an experience that for the residents of the community is felt and described in terms of an enhanced quality of life. We have read inP rior studies issued as part of the conservation planning process that the component parts of the biological reserve include (1) unfragmented stretches of land, (2) that are effective in stabilizing and sustaining natural systems, and (3) successful in retaining a diversity of native species. The design principles of a successfully developed community are really the same: (1) within spatial and aesthetic confines, (2) we look for an effective and rational mode of service (3)delivery, while retaining the vitality and authenticity of the southwestern lifestyle which affirms our . sense of place. Ironically, compatibility ronicali the of natural and built environmental planning has been made possible by the Endangered Species Act. Because now we must talk in terms of biological reserve design, we 9 P fall can talk in terms of urban design. These are discussions that are long over due and I think my will be welcomed within the community. They are the essence of rational and meaningful 9 planning. • PCPD-02 The Sonoran Desert Conservation and Comprehensive Land Use Plan • December 20, 2000 Page 2 III. Significant Dates and Documents We have received over 100 reports and studies that led to the creation of the six elements in the Preliminary Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, issued in September of 2000. Next year, the study series will continue and be expanded to include Elements of the Comprehensive Plan that are defined in state law. Growing Smarter Plus describes and requires seven Elements: ■ Land Use ■ Circulation ■ Water Resources ■ Open Space ■ Cost of Development a Air and Water Quality, and ■ Planning for Growth Areas Members of County staff, teaming with staff from Pima Association of Governments and the University of Arizona Water Resources Research Center, will create the Elements of the Comprehensive Plan and present each Element to the Board, the Steering Committee for the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, and the Pima County Planning and Zoning Commission. At the same time, these major documents will be presented to the Board and the Steering Committee as we move toward completion of the conservation planning process: ■ The Multi-Species Conservation Plan, which is the basis of Pima County's application for a Section 10 Permit under the Endangered Species Act. ■ The Environmental Impact Statement, which is the United States Fish & Wildlife Service's assessment of the impact of the preferred conservation alternative, along with other available alternatives, and the no action alternative. • ■ The Implementing Agreement, which is the contract between Pima County and the United States Fish & Wildlife Service that describes how the County will implement its conservation commitments through County ordinances, programs and funding arrangements. We intend to issue drafts of the Comprehensive Plan, the Multi-Species Conservation Plan, the Environmental Impact Statement, and the Implementing Agreement at the same time. ■ The first draft of each of these four major documents will be released in July of 2001. ■ The second draft of each will be released in September of 2001. ■ The third draft of each will be released in November of 2001. IV. Conclusion • The Sonoran Desert Conservation and Comprehensive Land Use Plan is much more than simply a multi-species strategy. Completed under the guidance of the Endangered Species Act, it represents a new and dynamic vision for accommodating population expansion and economic growth, while preserving and protecting regional natural resources. It provides the foundation for developing state-of-the-art growth management plans. In the next twelve months, Pima County will continue on course with natural resource planning and embark on urban planning that holds the promise of being equally rich and innovative in scope. .„co,rill. 47 ./c,\ 0, ,;, ,ca _•• ,,,,_ .47 Ilie1zo,% Date: May 21, 2001 To: The Honorable Chair and Members From: C.H.

Y • Re: June 2001 EarthPulse Section of the National Geographic Magazine I am forwarding the June 2001 National Geographic Magazine which features Pima County as a model for conservation partnerships in a two page article entitled Piecing Together Wild Lands, Sonoran Desert:A model for international partnerships. The Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan is profiled along with issues related to urban sprawl in Tucson and protection of the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl. The role of geographic information systems in our regional conservation planning is also called out in this feature by the National Geographic Magazine called EarthPulse. EarthPulse a newmonthly isfeature that the Magazine describes as one intended to "inspire people of all ages to increase their knowledge of, and involvement with environmental issues." The topics that are covered in 2001 include the following, from January through December: (1) oceans; (2) climate; (3) energy; (4) fresh water; (5) technology; (6) wild lands; (7) population; (8) heroes of the environment; (9) humans and habitats; (10) wild species; (11) ecosystems; and (12) earth highlights from 2001. The regional planning efforts by Pima County through the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, the Tohono O'odham Nation, and Western Pima County planning partnerships were chosen to represent the EarthPulse issue on wild lands. As a result, our web page for the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan will be linked to the National Geographic page when the June issue is uploaded to nationalgeographic.com/ngt/0106/earthpulse. County staff played an important role in editing text and forwarding images to the writers and artists at National Geographic. These images included excerpts from the stock of illustrations and original art that we have become accustomed to seeing from Mr. Bill Singleton and his talented colleagues in the Graphic Design Division. Piecing Together Wild Lands, Sonoran Desert: A model for international partnerships describes both our unique natural system and "the driving concern" of our rapid population growth to emphasize the value in the approach of the regional planning perspective that looks across administrative boundaries and defines reserves, as we see now in the biological element of the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, from the species and habitat perspective, rather than the short sighted perspective of political boundaries. We will continue to promote this approach, accepted from the beginning by our federal partners, so that the promise of piecing together a meaningful conservation reserve in Pima County is fully realized.

Huckelberry Pima County Board of Supervisors County Administ a e / Re: Alternatives Development for the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan n 10 (a)(2)(A) of the Endan ered Species Act outlines the basic areas that must be covered by Sectio 9 conservationplans. Plans are required to specify "what alternative actions to taking the applicant considered and the reasons whysuch alternatives are not being utilized." The attached maps and information reflect a range of alternatives that will assist in framing the public participation process for the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan. The alternative that is ultimately proposed by the Steering Committeeadopted and ado ted as the preferred alternative by the applicants has not been determined. Providinga recommendation for the preferred alternative is the responsibility of the Steering Committee and will beupcoming public the result of the u comin process. This memorandum briefly outlines the range of alternatives that are being developed. ■ NoAction Alternative -The first alternative that will be more fully described during the community participation process ation and quantified in the Environmental Impact Statement analyzes resource protection, compliance, and other land use issues under the future scenario of taking no action to apply for a Section 10 permit under the Endangered Species P Act. • Existing System S stem Alternative -This alternative will analyze the effectiveness and measure the trade offs of a minimum biological reserve. ■ Expand -ed Biologically Preferred Reserve Alternative - The benefits and costs of the maximum g Y biological reserve will be analyzed and discussed under this alternative. • Pima County Reserve System Alternative --A fourth alternative measures the impact of potential bylocal incorporated areas. Such analysis is required under recent federal case non-participation P law. The draftbiologically preferred biolo icall alternative,which continues to be refined by the Science Team, includes 42202 202 acres of land in the incorporated areas, or approximately 1.4 percent of the total , current recommendation from the science community. y • Proposed Reserve System Alternative -- The alternative that will be proposed at the end of the yet process is to be defined by the Steering Committee and interested members of the community. In addition, the uses that will be recommended within these areas will be discussed and forwarded as proposals from the science community and the participating stakeholders and government entities. community's involvement in developing and of alternatives and the �.. Discussion of the range recommending a preferred alternative begins this evening as we start the next phase of de• fining the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan.

The Board of Supervisors welcomes your written comments. Ranch Conservation . Pima County Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan Open House May 30, 2001 By virtue of its extensiveness as a land use and the ongoing land stewardship provided by ranchers,ranching in Pima County is uniquely suited to preserve natural,unfragmented open space,habitat,and the land's natural and cultural resource values. While becoming more vulnerable todevelopment pressures,ranching is a significant land use in its own right,and ranch lands have been a significant determinant of a definable urban boundary. • Through ranch conservation: • The metropolitan urban boundary is better defined; • The heritage and culture of the West are preserved; • An important rural industry is maintained for a diversified local economy; • Water resources and groundwater are conserved; • The natural landscape is preserved to provide unfragmented open space and habitat critical for ggjit. maintaining sustainable and diverse ecosystems and wildlife corridors; • Virtually all of the preliminary biological reserve is comprised of ranch lands and reserves. • Pima County has 2.9 million acres classified as grazing lands and ranks third of all Arizona counties in grazing land. Eastern Pima County has 1.4 million acres. • • Ranch lands in Pima County were heavily impacted by uncontrolled grazing and overstocking during periods of drought between 1880 and 1934,but they have improved in condition since that time. In many areas,improvements in management have significantly enhanced the stability,productivity and wildlife • habitat conditions of ranch lands. • Unlike the 1891 estimate of between 150,000-200,000 cattle and sheep in Pima County,the livestock population today in eastern Pima County is much reduced to approximately 20,000 animals. • Most ranches in Pima County are family-owned enterprises,comprised of a patchwork of)ownership with about 210,000 acres of private lands committed to ranching. Grazing leases comprise some 818,000 acres of State Trust land,324,000 acres of BLM land,and 254,000 acres of Forest Service lands. • More than 1 million acres of all remaining ranch lands and unfragmented open space in eastern Pima • County could be developed in the future. • Once sold,private ranch lands are typically developed as subdivisions,,which fragments the landscape, destroys natural habitat and wildlife corridors, creates leap-frog development and urban sprawl, and makes adjoining lands even more vulnerable to urbanization and fragmentation. • State Trust grazing leases,some 818,000 acres,account for more than 50 percent of all ranch lands,and gr' g 4:..:-a. currently more than 50,000 acres of State Trust lands are classified for development. p OM'f5� • Urban growth in the Tucson metropolitan area consumes about 13 acres of land each day,and nearly 40 percentof this growth is unregulated development. • Ranch land fragmentation is greatest within a 25 mile radius of the Tucson urban core where land values are increasing and lands are being converted to urban uses. • If grazing lease's are used to define the current urban/rural interface,nearly 700 square miles are available for urban growth and expansion in the Tucson metropolitan area. For comparative purposes,the cities of Phoenix and Los Angeles today have an identical incorporated area of 470 square miles. • Land conservation tools available to property owners and Pima County can assist in the long term conservation of private ranch lands;however,the future disposition of State Trust grazing lands leaves the potential for ranch conservation uncertain. • Both long-term grazing leases and a purchase of development rights program for willing sellers are needed if ranch conservation is to be successful in preserving what remains of our natural and cultural landscape —our common ground.

With the support and expertise of a local southern prosperous of these ranching efforts with its holdings expanded Arizona ranching family who had adjoining grazing leases,the to nearly 1,000 square miles in extent by 1906. Flood Control District entered into a management agreement with this family to manage the 360 deeded acres for its resource value In 1987,Pima County proposed to purchase the Empire/Cienega to the public,while permitting limited grazing on those portions of Ranch in order to prevent development of the Empire community the ranch that could sustain such use.

The county's interest in ranch use and economic viability of this industry and preserving open acquisition heightened awareness of the need for conservation space and other important values. efforts,and in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management, the ranch was purchased and is now part of a federal conserva- tion area.

Future efforts to conserve the traditional use of ranch lands and the public lands that support this industry will require significant citizen and intergovernmental cooperation. There is a growing movement in Arizona and the Southwest that understands that sustainable ranching is a key component to conserve rural ecosystems and open space, and preserve a traditional life-style and economic pursuit Working with groups like the Altar Valley Conservation Alliance,Arivaca Watershed Educational Task Force, the Arizona Common Ground Roundtable, and the Southern Arizona Cattle Growers Protective Association, and others will provide needed input for how best to achieve ranch land conservation from those directly involved in ranching.

Re: June 2001 EarthPulse Section of the National Geographic Magazine I am forwarding the June 2001 National Geographic Magazine which features Pima County as a model for conservation partnerships in a two page article entitled Piecing Together Wild Lands, Sonoran Desert:A model for international partnerships. The Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan is profiled along with issues related to urban sprawl in Tucson and protection of the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl. The role of geographic information systems in our regional conservation planning is also called out in this feature by the National Geographic Magazine called EarthPulse. EarthPulse is a new monthly feature that the Magazine describes as one intended to "inspire people of all ages to increase their knowledge of, and involvement with environmental issues." The topics that are covered in 2001 include the following, from January through December: (1) oceans; (2) climate; (3) energy; (4) fresh water; (5) technology; (6)wild lands; (7) population; (8) heroes of the environment; (9) humans and habitats; (10) wild species; (11) ecosystems; and (12) earth highlights from 2001. The regional planning efforts by Pima County through the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, the Tohono O'odham Nation, and Western Pima County planning partnerships were chosen to represent the EarthPulse issue on wild lands. As a result, our web page for the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan will be linked to the National Geographic page when the June issue is uploaded to nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0106/earthpulse. County staff played an important role in editing text and forwarding images to the writers and artists at National Geographic. These images included excerpts from the stock of illustrations and original art that we have become accustomed to seeing from Mr. Bill Singleton and his talented colleagues in the Graphic Design Division. Piecing Together Wild Lands, Sonoran Desert: A model for international partnerships describes both our unique natural system and "the driving concern" of our rapid population growth to emphasize the value in the approach of the regional planning perspective that looks across administrative boundaries and defines reserves, as we see now in the biological element of the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, from the species and habitat perspective, rather than the short sighted perspective of political boundaries. We will continue to promote this approach, accepted from the beginning by our federal partners, so that the promise of piecing together a meaningful conservation reserve in Pima County is fully realized.

Pima County is rich in history, culture, regional character, and diversity, all of which contribute greatly to our collective cultural heritage and community identity. Cultural and historical resources are those places that are created by and reflect upon the people who have lived for thousands of years, in what is today Pima County. These places include archaeological sites of both prehistoric and historic times, buildings, structures and engineered features, as well as historically defined landscapes,and places of traditional cultural importance to the beliefs,practices, and historical identity of traditional communities. • Pima County has been continuously occupied for approximately 12,000 years from the end of the last Ice Age to the present day. • A total of 3984 sites archaeological sites are known in the county yet only 12.1%of the land base has ever been formally investigated. • More than 4000 historic buildings have been recorded, most of which are within Tucson city limits. In general,these represent settlement during the 19th and early 20th centuries when Tucson emerged from a fortified village to a major metropolitan center. • There are 121 places listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the nation's honor role of historically important properties. Twenty-five of these are districts that contain multiple buildings or archaeological sites. The City of Tucson has 16 such districts alone, five of which are also city designated districts. Ajo has recently been approved for listing. • There are ten historic communities, each of which is 50 years old or older. These are Silverbell, Marana,Rillito,Catalina,Redington,Vail,Continental,Sahuarita,Arivaca,Sasabe,and Tucson itself. • Thirteen communities have been abandoned and are now ghost towns, including Greaterville and Total Wreck in the Cienega Valley,Twin Buttes and Helvetia in the Upper Santa Cruz Valley,Cerro Colorado in the Altar Valley,the Silverbell mining camp in the Avra Valley, and Clarkstown on the west side of the Tohono O'odham reservation. These reflect the importance of mining silver,gold,lead and copper,in Pima County's history. • There are three historically significant trails. The Anza Trail of 1775-1776 was used by Captain Juan Bautista de Anza in his excursions to the Pacific Coast. The Camino del Diablo linked Sonora with southern California during the 18th and 19th centuries. Finally,the Butterfield Trail,an overland mail route between St. Louis and San Francisco that was used between 1858 and 1861. • Five traditional cultural places have been identified, four of which are important to the Tohono O'odham Nation and one that is important to the Mexican American community in Tucson. Conservation efforts should be directed at the level of the landscape within each subarea to ensure that cultural and historical resources are protected along with the contextual evidence of past human interactions with the environment through time and across space. Priorities for conserving lands containing cultural and historical resources should be based on the integrity of the subarea,the cultural resources sensitivity of specific areas within the subarea,and the threat of future land disturbance. The long-term protection of cultural resources requires that the public be informed about the past,its fragile and non-renewable cultural and historical properties, and engaged in saving their heritage for the future. ,a) a �!
