Grand Canyon Trust
 United States  / Arizona  |  Environment

The mission of the Grand Canyon Trust is to protect and restore the Colorado Plateau — its spectacular landscapes, flowing rivers, clean air, diversity of plants and animals, and areas of beauty and solitude.

The Trust was established in 1985 by Arizona Governor Bruce Babbitt and other leading conservationists as a national trust for projects in the Grand Canyon. We work toward creating a region where generations of people and all of nature can thrive in harmony. We give priority to projects that have broad implications for public lands policy and offer practical, demonstrable outcomes. We are intentionally collaborative and positive in approach, seeking solutions wherever possible, though we can be very strong in defense of the land when necessary. The Trust is widely respected for getting the facts right and for seeking solutions that will endure. We believe that enduring conservation solutions arise when ecology, economy, and community come together to support balanced goals.
