Altar Valley Alliance

The Altar Valley Alliance was formed 25 years ago by the ranchers and landowners in the Altar Valley Water shed in reaction to the increasing erosion and degradation of the watershed and range lands. The main wash is known as the Brawley Wash. The wash runs from south to north from Sasabe to the Santa Cruz River. There are 700,00 acres in the watershed. Members of the Alliance include ranchers, Indian tribes, state and federal conservation governments. Projects include rotational grazing, grassland seeding and erosion control structures.
