Highlands Center for Natural History

The Highlands Center for Natural History is a regional non-profit nature center that is dedicated to cultivating in both children and adults a sense of wonder about and knowledge of our unique Central Arizona Highlands. Our 80 acre campus is operated under a Special Use Permit with Prescott National Forest and is located on Walker Road near Lynx Lake. On-site youth programs include school field trips for second and fourth graders, Saturday morning nature clubs and summer and school break day camps. Adult programs feature a Nature Study Series, naturalist and docent training courses, semi-annual native plants sales, and the spring Birding and fall Hiking Sprees. Off-site we facilitate a schoolyard habitat program, funded through a fall tax credit appeal, that establishes native plant gardens and multi-grade science curricula at elementary schools in our Quad Cities. Supported principally by member contributions and staffed in great part by volunteers, we collaborate with other organizations (educational, environmental, and community based) and offer a beautiful natural environment where hiking and experiential education opportunities abound. Our campus and the James Learning Center model sustainable building techniques and a future Arboretum will highlight area flora!

Prescott Alternative Transportation

We sponsor "Safe Routes to School" the "Walking School Bus" and other health and safety education for school children.

Prescott Creeks

What We Do: Watson Woods Riparian Preserve: a 126 acre riparian preserve that started off as part of a 1,000 acre gallery forest, then became a gravel mine and trash dump. Over the past decade Prescott Creeks has been involved in studying, planning, and restoring the important riparian habitat in Watson Woods. Watershed Improvement Planning: The Granite Creek Watershed Improvement Council is a broad stakeholder group engaged in a Watershed Improvement Planning process for the Granite Creek Watershed. The collaborative planning process includes data gathering through Water Quality Monitoring, a Watershed Field Survey, and a Watershed Residents' Survey. This data has been used to identify and prioritize Best Management Practices that can improve water quality and overall watershed health. Granite Creek Cleanup: In 2007 Prescott Creeks began organizing this annual event where volunteers come and spend a morning cleaning the creeks and lakes in the area of trash and debris. In the six year that we have been leading the event volunteers have removed nearly 31 Tons of trash from the local waterways. For Prescott Creeks, this is an important part of making our community the best place it can be for those who live and visit here.
