Support the protection of the Upper Verde!

A refuge for wildlife and people

The Verde River is an extraordinary ribbon of life through the heart of Arizona. The Upper Verde – extending from east of Paulden to the town of Clarkdale – is one of the most clean, healthy, economically important, and culturally significant free-flowing rivers remaining in Arizona.

The Upper Verde River provides:

Important habitat for fish, wildlife, and birds
A wide range of recreation opportunities including hunting, fishing, hiking, swimming, birding, paddling, horseback riding, and a scenic railway
Stunning geology, scenery, historical sites, and cultural significance
Clean water for downstream users – farms and ranches, cities, and Indigenous communities
*Wild Verde River Coalition partner Wild Arizona has set up this fundraiser to support Wild and Scenic River designation for the Upper Verde River. All proceeds will be utilized for coalition campaign expenses.*
