By focusing on conservation, renewable energy, sustainable food systems and urban forestry, the AZSA has made countless positive strides across the state.”
Since 2017, conservation efforts by the organization include work to maintain clean and beautiful parks, as well as valuable outdoor spaces for native plants and animals. Renewable energy initiatives and the successful applications of renewable energy support the well-being of those living within the community. Sustainable food systems efforts include creating and supporting regenerative local food systems through community engagement, education and project-based assistance, empowering low-income communities and creating equitable, affordable food access throughout the state.
