The Desert Awareness Committee
The Desert Awareness Committee has been the community resource advocate for the Sonoran Desert since 1974.
In the summer of 2010, the Desert Awareness Committee became a member of the Foothills Community Foundation family.
"Preservation through Education"
Our mission is to educate residents and visitors so that they may join us in understanding, conserving and preserving our fragile Sonoran desert, its plants and animals, its water and wildlife.
We accomplish these goals through our education efforts, including hikes, walks, fieldtrips and mini seminars for members, new residents and the community; the sale of our publication, The Fragile Desert; and our exciting school outreach program known as Desert Reach.
