A partnership led by Arizona Land and Water Trust has been awarded $5.9 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and its partners to advance its efforts to conserve land and water around Fort Huachuca while maintaining military sustainability.
The project is one of 84 nationwide and one of only two in Arizona awarded by the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) out of 265 proposals. Arizona Game & Fish Department was awarded $900,000.
"Fort Huachuca is a national security treasure that houses many of our military's unique and indispensable capabilities," said U.S. Rep. Martha McSally.

Hey, we told Range Control......
Oh yeah. I’m certain no fort would have been built without an ample water supply.
Humans aren’t completely stupid....
Pretty area...
They didn’t mention Fort Chewbacca’s most valuable resources: the double cheeseburgers served in their mess halls.
From the moment you eat one, exactly 24 hours later you will pass something that has about four times the volume of what you ate. And that magnificent creation is one of the primary food sources of the migratory Chupacabra, aka the Mexican goat sucker.
