Fund stewardship of our parks and forests

In addition to creating jobs and increasing tourism revenue, properly funding parks and forests reduces wildfire risks, helps protect natural resources, allows for better forest management, and makes better use of our water resources. Better water management further reduces risks posed by the state's current drought. Finally, proper funding of parks and forests improves the quality of life for Arizonans and visitors alike, increases our recreation opportunities, and provides better habitat for wildlife.
