The Prescott Valley Wildlife Corridor Foundation Guide was developed to address the urgent need to balance regional growth with ecological connectivity. Rapid development in Prescott Valley threatened vital wildlife habitats—grasslands, riparian corridors, and mountain forests—and risked fragmenting movement corridors essential for native species. The Town recognized that a proactive planning framework was critical to sustain wildlife populations, protect ecosystem services, and maintain community well-being.

Logan Simpson was engaged for our expertise in wildlife ecology, environmental planning, and community-centered design. The Town sought a partner capable of translating scientific insight into actionable guidance aligned with local politics and development pressures.

Our interdisciplinary team led stakeholder workshops, community outreach, and review of case studies. We conducted ecological mapping to identify critical movement zones, evaluated barriers and land uses, and developed guidance strategies—ranging from green infrastructure to design standards and conservation partnerships. We integrated public input to ensure practical, locally acceptable solutions. The Guide provides a Phase I framework to inform Phase II’s detailed Wildlife Corridor Plan. As such, the project successfully laid the groundwork for lasting ecological resilience while supporting sustainable development in Prescott Valley
