LANDS WE PROTECT
Since 1991, Desert Foothills Land Trust has permanently protected 1,000 acres of sensitive land in the Sonoran Desert. We steward 28 preserves, many of which are open to the public for exploration and recreation. Others are privately owned and forever protected by a conservation easement. Access to the privately owned properties is by permission of the property owner and the Land Trust only. While we encourage you to visit our open properties often, for the sake of the fauna, flora, and our future generations, we ask that you follow our "leave no trace" policy by leaving only footprints and taking only photos.
​
*Please note - NO COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES ARE PERMITTED ON DFLT PRESERVES without prior written approval.
This includes commercial photography sessions, commercially guided hikes, and any other commercial activities.
