Phoenix, Arizona is the largest capital based on population in the United States. It was incorporated in 1881 and has grown at an extremely fast rate, into a major metropolitan area. Nicknamed the “Valley in the Sun,” it is not hard to see why Phoenix would adopt such a name. The city of 1.3 million people is located in the heart of the Sonoran desert and is surrounded by the McDowell Mountains to the northeast, the White Tank Mountains to the west, the Superstition Mountains far to the east, and the Sierra Estrella to the southwest. Located in the desert, Phoenix has an arid climate with an average of eight inches of rainfall per year. Such a desert-like climate have attracted industries such as telecommunications, film makers, advertising companies, and miners to the area. The desert climate is also inspiration for all major league sports team names such as the Diamondbacks, Suns, and Coyotes that make the city proud. We also service the towns of Scottsdale, Chandler, Fountain Hills, and rodent removal in Youngtown, Avondale, Florence and also animal control in Litchfield Park, Ahwatukee, Waddell, Laveen, and extermination services in Carefree, Mesa, Tolleson, Sun City, and snake removal in Glendale, Buckeye and pest control in Queen Creek, and animal capture in Tempe, Maricopa, Gold Canyon, Coolidge, Goodyear and wild animal services in Casa Grande, Cave Creek, and wildlife trapping in Paradise Valley, Higley, Apache Junction and wildlife management in Anthem, Rio Verde, Peoria, and rat control in Wickenburg, Gilbert, El Mirage.
 

Cooperative conservation for Phoenix Wildlife
Ranchers unite to save the land for cattle, wildlife, way of life

The image of the lone rancher punching cows and cursing environmentalists has gone by the wayside — at least for the Phoenix Borderlands Group. With Phoenix, ranchers run a nonprofit cooperative dedicated to conserving rangeland and preserving a ranching way of life. They work with scientists, an assortment of government agencies and even environmental groups. They don’t see cattle in competition with wildlife in Glendale or Tempe. For Phoenix members, improving the range for one works to the benefit of the other.

The Phoenix group could be just the tip of an expanding iceberg. Cooperative conservation has become something of a buzzword in recent years. The White House hosted a cooperative conservation conference in St. Louis in August 2004. More than 1,000 people attended. In a group like that, a lone rancher would be hard to find. Arizona has an abundance of wildlife, and Phoenix is no exception.

Phoenix area ranches cover 800,000 acres of rangeland stretching from the San Bernardino Valley in southeastern Arizona across the state line into Gilbert and Peoria. To date, 13 ranchers have signed on with the group. Its formation dates back to the early 1990s. At the time, neighboring ranchers would gather at Warner and Wendy Glenn’s Phoenix Ranch. They talked about restoring rangeland through prescribed burns. They later began discussing how cash-strapped ranchers could stay in business — without selling out to developers. They talked about preserving open spaces for cattle and wildlife. Although several species of wildlife roam Phoenix, Mesa, and Scottsdale, only a few, such as raccoons and squirrels, are considered pest wildlife.
