North Country Conservancy (NCC)
501(c)3 public charity

Vision: To be the leader of efforts to preserve the natural landscape and wildlife habitat in the Daisy Mountain/Anthem/New River/Desert Hills region.

Mission: North Country Conservancy is an Arizona land trust dedicated to the preservation of Daisy Mountain and the surrounding area’s natural resources, open spaces, wildlife habitat, and historic/geologic features for the enjoyment of current and future generations.

Efforts to achieve this mission include:

Advocating sound land use policies through State Trust Land reform and other efforts.
Working with transportation and land-use planners to preserve fragile ecosystems and to mitigate the impacts of noise, air, and light pollution.
Engaging in and promoting conservation education and research.
Fostering appreciation and understanding of natural resources with local communities.
Supporting organizations with similar missions.

To support this purpose, we engage in and promote education regarding natural resources and environmentally sensitive lands. Through working with school students and community groups, we foster increased appreciation and understanding of our county's natural resources.

This grassroots, community-based effort has been active since 2003 and continues to grow. Daisy Mountain is a spectacular landscape viewed from every direction. It is a landmark image to the New River-Desert Hills-Anthem communities near Phoenix, Arizona.
