Milagrosa Canyon - The 27 acre property in Milagrosa Canyon is bordered on two sides by the Coronado National Forest. The parcel sits on the west slope of the Rincon Mountains immediately south of Milagrosa Canyon. Conservation of this striking property not only protects two washes and their associated riparian habitat, but also extends the existing protected area of the Coronado Forest.

Six Bar Ranch - 3,332 acres of priority conservation area and riparian habitat along Edgar Canyon have been permanently protected.  Edgar Canyon is an important tributary to the San Pedro River in northeastern Pima County, joining the San Pedro three miles south of the Pinal County line and about 32 miles north of I-10 at Benson.

Avra Valley - 160 acres of sensitive riparian habitat along a tributary to the Brawley Wash in the Avra Valley west of the Tucson Mountains have been protected in perpetuity. This acquisition preserves landscape connectivity, providing a linkage critical for wildlife dispersal and survival. The landscape linkage along the tributaries to the Brawley Wash ultimately link up with the Santa Cruz River.

Agua Verde - The Trust has protected 238 acres near the southern foothills of the Rincon Mountains along the Agua Verde Creek. Acquisition of this mesquite dominated riparian woodland and one-mile segment of the Agua Verde Creek protects habitat for seven bird and mammal species at risk of extinction in Pima County

Altar Wash - The 366-acre Madera Highlands property was acquired to protect the Altar Wash floodplain and to protect landscape connectivity throughout the Altar Valley. The property provides habitat for the federally endangered Pima Pineapple Cactus and is adjacent to the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge. Scenic vistas of the Baboquivari Mountains, Coyote Mountains Wilderness Area, Cerro Colorado and Sierrita Mountains are protected with this acquisition.
