Arizona

The Eastern Arizona Counties Organization (ECO) regroups Apache County, Cochise County, Gila County, Graham County, Greenlee County and Navajo County, which represent over a third of Arizona. Due to their geographic location in relation to the Mogollon Rim, the counties of the Eastern Arizona Counties Organization have a distinct and vested interest in maintaining and utilizing public lands for the benefit of both the environment and local communities. A large percentage of Arizona’s Ponderosa Pine forests and a large percentage of the watershed supplying the Phoenix metropolitan area are located within the six counties of the Eastern Arizona Counties Organization. Additionally, much of Arizona’s prime recreation lands are located in the White Mountains within the six counties of the Eastern Arizona Counties Organization. The eastern Arizona counties have been disproportionally affected by the two largest wildfires in Arizona history, the Rodeo Chediski Fire and the Wallow Fire, and face unique ecological restoration, watershed management, burned areas emergency response and long term rehabilitation, economic development, transportation, education and workforce development challenges. ECO currently manages ten programs, including: Forest Restoration; Threatened and Endangered Species; Watershed Restoration; Infrastructures; Recreation; Energy; Natural Resources Planning; Public Lands; Water; and, Emerging Issues. This puts ECO at the heart of Local Governments’, as well as State and Federal agencies’, actions in a number of vital public policy issues such as prevention of catastrophic wildfires; forest and watershed protection and restoration; endangered species management; natural-resources-based rural economic development (recreation, mining, ranching, logging, etc.); conservation socio-economic impacts; infrastructure modernization; etc.
