What Can You Do?
Tell your state representative to support efforts to conserve the state trust lands identified in Proposition 103. In northern Arizona, express support for the Open Spaces and Greenways Plan and the Regional Plan. Both plans protect lands in the Flagstaff area that were listed in Prop 103.

The Grand Canyon Trust helps achieve a victory for open space in Flagstaff.
On May 18, 2004, Flagstaff voters approved two bond measures that provide $13M for purchasing over 1,100 acres of key open-space lands vulnerable to development.
For 8 years, the Grand Canyon Trust participated in numerous community-planning efforts that culminated in this election’s open space bond questions. These bond questions were developed in accord with the Flagstaff 2020 Vision Plan, the Flagstaff Area Open Spaces and Greenways Plan, and the Flagstaff Area Regional Land Use and Transportation Plan — all processes the Trust has been intimately involved in.
The Trust partnered with Friends of Flagstaff’s Future to form Citizens for Open Space (chaired by board member, Jim Babbitt) to advocate for the passing of these bond measures. The team included the Trust’s Communication Director, Richard Mayol, an expert in campaigns. This victory takes a big step toward fulfilling the region’s much-needed open-space protection
