VIDEO: A transformative journey for Arizona's Sky Islands

Jul 29, 2024

A creek runs through a desert area in the Sky Islands, Arizona.

BLM and partners are breathing new life into the special ecosystems located on the Gila District in southern Arizona.

The peaks of the Sky Islands rise more than 6,000 above the desert floor, and BLM manages lands that provide a vital connection for migrating wildlife. The area is under threat from drought and catastrophic wildfires, and the Gila District is actively working on hazardous fuels projects to improve habitat and reduce wildfire impacts.

Take a five-minute journey into the watershed restoration from the eyes of those who live and work in the area.
