Preserving Open Space In The Heart of Arizona
Current Campaign:
Date Creek Ranch Forever
Date Creek is a rare oasis in an arid, high desert environment. It is a tributary of the Santa Maria River and part of the Bill Williams River watershed, in southwestern Yavapai County. The area straddles a transition zone between the Mohave and Sonoran deserts, where large Joshua trees and saguaro cactus thrive. Elevations range from 2500’ in the lower desert to 4500’ feet on nearby Date Creek Mountain.

Our Mission
Preserving Arizona’s Natural and Cultural Heritage for Future Generations
Grasslands make up one third of Earth’s terrain.
They support biodiversity, act as carbon reservoirs and offer livelihoods to more billions of people. Yet grasslands are disappearing faster than forests all over the globe.
Let’s work together to preserve Arizona’s iconic grasslands.
Protected Lands in the Area
CALT monitors each of our protected properties annually to assure the conservation values on the land remain protected.

Campaign SUCCESS:
Orme Ranch
In 2023 CALT, in partnership with Arizona Land and Water Trust, completed a 907-acre conservation easement on the historic Orme Ranch near Mayer, Arizona. Major funding was provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and many generous individuals and foundations. A perpetual stewardship endowment was established to assure the protected lands along Ash Creek will remain undeveloped for future generations.
