Last Week at Rotary Our speaker last week was Laurel Arndt of the White Tanks Mountains Conservancy. The White Tanks Mountain Conservancy is an advocate for wildlife conservation amidst rapid urban development. Their innovative approach to wildlife connectivity, which involves the strategic placement of new developments alongside natural landscapes, ensures that animals like mule deer, mountain lions, and javelinas can continue to thrive in their natural habitats. This not only preserves the biodiversity of the region but also enhances the quality of life for residents by providing beautiful, natural spaces for recreation and relaxation. The Conservancy's collaborative efforts with developers and city planners aim to create a sustainable balance between growth and nature conservation. Their work is a testament to the power of community involvement and the positive impact it can have on preserving our natural world for future generations.
