Known for its dramatic canyon overlooks and high plateaus, Arizona is also home to one of the fastest-growing populations in the United States. The Trust for Public Land conserves open space in advance of rapid urban development, ensuring that cities such as Phoenix and Tucson remain livable even as they expand.
Partnering with landowners and government agencies, TPL also preserves properties like Cedar Springs—a working ranch for more than 100 years. Protecting these landscapes safeguards both valuable wildlife habitat and Arizona's treasured Western heritage. Explore some of our Arizona projects in the photo carousel below.
