Preservation Win in Oak Creek Canyon Sale to Forest Service
The Thompson family sold 15 acres in Oak Creek Canyon to the U S Forest Service, preserving a spring fed wetland and wildlife habitat people feared would be paved by developers. Keep Sedona Beautiful formed to prevent loss, and local support grew after a regional forester visited the site. The deal secures money for care of Thompson’s mother and positions the group to protect more parcels.
