Grand Canyon and Colorado Plateau conservation advocates : Grand Canyon Trust

Home » Arizona » Forest Restoration » Accomplishments


The Grand Canyon Trust has played a key role in restoring Arizona’s forests.

  • At the state level, we co-chaired the Governor’s Forest Health Advisory Council from 2003–2005.
  • Our Director of Restoration Programs, Ethan Aumack, has co-chaired the reformulated Governor’s Forest Health Council since 2006.
  • We led the Statewide Strategy for Restoring Arizona’s Forests. Since 2007, we have worked to implement key recommendations through the Forest Health Council.
  • We are leading efforts to accelerate forest restoration across the entire Mogollon Rim. This project has unprecedented agreement, a strong landscape science foundation, and support from key industry partners.
  • We have spent 4 years building a rigorous science foundation for restoration-based forest management across the Kaibab Plateau by partnering with the Forest Ecosystem Restoration Analysis project at Northern Arizona University. Through this partnership, we have developed maps linking ground-plot data with satellite imagery to describe current forest, fire, wildlife habitat, and invasive non-native species conditions across the Plateau. Using these maps and working with Forest Service staff and other stakeholders, we are working to build a collective, ambitious vision for science-based restoration.
