What we do
Whether it’s exploring Sedona’s red rocks, exploring Kartchner Caverns or enjoying a special place closer to home, Arizona’s natural wonders enrich our lives in countless ways. Yet the places we love and the values we share are too often threatened.
We research the issues and educate the public about what’s at stake. Through our reports, news conferences and interviews with reporters, we help the media cover environmental issues in ways that make sense. Our canvassers meet citizens where they are — starting conversations in public places or going door to door — explaining our mission while raising awareness and funds for environmental protection.
When decisions are being made about our environment, our elected officials hear plenty from the oil companies, developers and other powerful interests. We speak up for our environment, making our case to public officials and helping you make your voice heard when it matters most.

RESULTS
- Standing up for state parks. When Gov. Jan Brewer announced plans to close nearly two-thirds of the Arizona’s state parks, our members and supporters said, “no, way.” We've mobilized thousands of Arizonans to stand up for our parks and won bipartisan support in the Legislature for measures to keep our parks open and in public hands.
- Ending our addiction to oil. Federal fuel efficiency standards are set to double to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025 thanks in part to our aciton and that of our allies.
- Powering a clean energy future. We pushed for, and won, a state measure to require that 15% of our electricity come from renewable sources by 2025.
