Connectivity INITIATIVE

The White Tank Mountains Conservancy’s Connectivity Initiative is a collaborative effort to envision, enable, and sustain the preservation of wildlife corridors that connect the White Tank Mountains to other regional mountain ranges. The initiative will provide a host of ecological benefits that will not only conserve the natural heritage of the mountains, but also support a 21st century economy and quality of life for residents in this fast-developing area of the Sonoran Desert.

Wildfire Ravages 128 Acres In The White Tank Mountain Regional Park

It was a sad day when an ember from an illegal charcoal grill started a wildfire that burnt 128 acres in one of the most popular hiking and picnicking areas in the White Tank Mountain Regional Park. Thankfully, there were no casualties or damage to park structures.

Wildfires are the predictable result of the desert ecosystem being carpeted by invasive plant species that fuel wildfires. Deserts are not meant to burn in this way and, as a result, native vegetation in some of the areas charred by this wildfire may never completely recover.

INFO & HOW TO HELP

Annual Fire Ban in Place

It is vitally important that visitors to the White Tank Mountain Regional Park and Skyline Regional Park take notice of the Fire Ban currently in place.

The annual fire bans prohibit open, wood, or charcoal fires in the parks.
