2018-02-10 Granite Dells: A Threatened Community Resource from CWAGAZ on Vimeo.

How will the proposed Arizona Eco Development annexation impact popular trails and riparian habitat in the Granite Dells? What role can and should area citizens play in ensuring protection of the ecological, hydrological, archeological, historical, recreational, and aesthetic values of the unique 1.4 billion-year-old Granite Dells? Naturalist, artist, photographer, and Prescott College professor Walt Anderson will describe the wildlife and open space values of the riparian habitat along Granite Creek below the Watson Lake Dam and of the Peavine and Iron King Trails, which go through the heart of the Granite Dells. These trails and Granite Creek are threatened by proposed subdivision development and diversion of water from the streambed.
