Making Sense of Place – Phoenix: The Urban Desert

State Trust Land

Quotes From the Film | Lincoln Institute Publications

Quotes From the Film

"Much of the growth is going to occur on land that is owned by the state. And much of that land that is owned by the state is still native desert, and so there is a significant amount of that land, and because it is still native desert it has higher market value. People want to live on houses around native desert. So, it's a real dilemma because the land that has the highest value for its financial value is also the land with the highest conservation values."
 --Luther Propst, Executive Director, Sonoran Institute

"In order to reform state trust land we need some real leadership - whether that comes from elected officials, or from stakeholders sitting down together in a collaborative way working things out. We need some leadership that recognizes the current system is dysfunctional and that we can do better."
 --Luther Propst, Executive Director, Sonoran Institute
