Our Mission is to develop and implement immediate and long-range strategies to preserve and enhance the natural open space of the Verde Valley. The Institute will ensure a public collaborative process involving scientific research, education, planning, and land acquisition, management, development, and preservation techniques.

Verde Valley Regional Land Planning Process

Yavapai County, with the support of Camp Verde, Clarkdale, Cottonwood, Jerome and Sedona, is conducting a regional planning process that focuses on Open Space as well as other related activities. VVLPI has submitted some open space initiatives.

See Presentation ...

Verde Valley Land Preservation Institute is an Arizona nonprofit corporation operating within the Verde Valley of Arizona for the purpose of acquiring, managing and enhancing the natural open space in the Verde Valley region.

OUR VISION:
The Verde Valley Land Preservation Institute envisions a high quality of life in a region where open space and the beautiful vistas are it’s defining characteristics:

  • Communities have maintained and enhanced their individual distinctiveness and are separated by healthy, diverse natural open space that includes interconnected greenways and trail systems.
      
  • Watersheds, viewsheds, sensitive ecosystems, wildlife corridors, steep slopes and cultural resources (sacred, archeological, historical, and agricultural), and outdoor recreational areas have been protected.

A regional open space plan is in place that has maintained a balance between natural and human communities and encouraged responsible growth and economic prosperity:

  • It has been achieved through a citizen-driven, science-based (biological, physical, and social) planning effort conducted in collaboration with all affected Verde Valley legal jurisdictions and has been successfully integrated into their plans.
       
  • All stakeholders have come together and are continually working together to achieve responsible stewardship of the Verde Valley’s open space for future generations.
