Goals and Objectives
Prescott Valley Citizens Alliance (PVCA) supports public policy that will minimize the depletion of natural resources and that will meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
PVCA advocates for a healthy environment and high quality of life including:
Supporting protection of air and water quality, natural resources, wildlife habitats and open space
Pursuing places for recreation and an eco-friendly environment for the enjoyment of residents and visitors
Advancing land development design standards and the appointment of a citizen-based Advisory Committee
Promoting essential services that support our quality of life
Resources
Central Arizona Wildlife Alliance
To better understand habitat use and important barriers to wildlife movement in our region CAWA has initiated a citizen science project to collect data on the locations of animals sighted along roadways and in other habitats. CAWA invites you to participate in the CENTRAL ARIZONA WILDLIFE SURVEY.
A primary goal is to make a clear statement to area planners and decision-makers that the public wants our wildlife to move freely and safely. We can start by recording and sharing what we see. Please visit this link to get started with the RoADS app and start recording wildlife!
The land development code is an important tool for preserving Sedona's scenic beauty and unique community character. Can Sedona's land development code serve as a model for well planned development design standards?
