In a world that seems to become more divided with each passing minute, the Altar Valley Conservation Alliance is building bridges. Thanks to its focused, diligent efforts for the past two decades, the AVCA has managed to bring together groups that have historically been at odds, allowing them to focus on shared goals and creative solutions to complicated challenges, rather than dwelling on their differences.
Collaboration is their goal, and AVCA sees to it that all stakeholders—private landowners, ranchers, government entities, conservation non-profits, environmental advocacy groups, and more—all have a seat at the table when it comes to tackling the Valley’s challenges. AVCA’s work is as effective as it is refreshing, and it serves as a model that many other organizations throughout the West can emulate.
I’m thrilled to be speaking at their annual dinner and fundraiser on September 21st at the historic Mountain Oyster Club in Tucson, Arizona, and I sincerely hope you’ll be able to join us. It’s an honor to support AVCA’s work.
To learn more about the AVCA and its work, listen to my fun and educational conversation with AVCA’s Community Outreach and Education Coordinator, Sarah King— a true conservation dynamo!
Interested in having me speak at your event, discuss conservation in the West, or interview your guest of honor? Send me an email, and let’s make it happen!
