Guiding Values

CONNECT

iron king trail (trail link)_edited_edit

Communities are connected by a regionwide network that links neighborhoods, schools, commercial areas, trailheads, and open spaces together while reducing reliance on cars.

PROTECT

Use trail planning and corridors to protect the wildlife that also live in the Greater Yavapai area from the impacts of expansion. Trail corridors can intersect with wildlife corridors that are used for migration and movement across the landscape.

EXPLORE
