Save the Scenic Santa Ritas

“Part III Primary Exempt Purpose: The purpose of the Organization is to protect the aesthetic environmental and wildlife values of the Santa Rita Mountains, Patagonia Mountains, Canelo Hills and San Rafael Valley of Southern Arizona through education and outreach including protection of these areas from degradation due to mining activities. Part III Line 28: We sent emails to over 3,200 interested persons that kept them up-to-date on our progress. We participated in community fairs and exhibitions that enabled many people to remain informed about the proposed mine. We met with community groups, church groups, and elected officials. We continued to provide informational tours for media reporters and students, and appeared on news stations to keep the public up-to-date on this project. We worked with our attorneys and attorneys for other organizations in order to provide background information that is being used in our federal lawsuits. We are currently preparing for oral arguments in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which should begin later this year.”
