It's up to all of us...
Rooted in rural wisdom,
building a sustainable future
and resilient generations!
Rural Arizona Engagement (RAZE)’s Environmental Stewardship program uplifts rural-led solutions to climate and environmental challenges. Our work is grounded in rural values, intergenerational knowledge, and the belief that communities should honor tradition while leading in protecting their future.
​
We focus on building resilience through clean energy, water justice, land protection, and storytelling. Across Arizona, we are elevating rural voices and practices that show what’s possible when communities come together to care for their environment.
