It's time to change the conversation to solutions
Wildly Benefiting All
Much hard work from the board to each of our kids, volunteers and staff, has grown The Scott Foundation to this point. After 15-years of service, we are now caring for more animals and educating more kids than ever before.
Shifting with the times we live in, and what is yet to come… Scott Foundation takes a collaborative and innovative approach to fulfill our intentional vision. While our youth initiative serves Arizona foster kids, our strategic vision centers on the ecological root cause, and is intended to secure the Foundations experiential programs as stewards of the land "in perpetuity" in the face of changing landscape.

Established in 1905, The Tonto National Forest is over 2.9 million acres and formed to protect its watersheds around reservoirs. The forest produces an average of 350,000 acre-feet of water each year. Six major reservoirs on the forest have the combined capacity to store more than 2 million acre-feet of water. Management efforts are directed at protecting both water quality and watershed and riparian area conditions.
It is also the largest national forest in Arizona and the sixth largest national forest among 154 USDA National Forests. It is one of the most-visited "urban" forests in the United States with 3 million visitors annually. Fish and wildlife are abundant on the Tonto; more than 400 vertebrate species are represented, including 30+ listed among federal and state Threatened and Endangered Species. Maintaining quality habitat to support and improve wildlife diversity is primary management consideration.

Located in Tonto National Forest, is the Town of Cave Creek & Carefree which take great pride in the preservation of the Sonoran Desert. Carefree and Cave Creek share a beautiful, ancient landmark, Black Mountain; and, a dedicated Chamber of Commerce. Interestingly, the towns do not share historical beginnings.
Cave Creek was established pre-statehood, and Carefree was established post-statehood. Residents cite the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert, clean air, less traffic, peace and tranquility as the top reasons to live in the area.
It's finally here! Our Healing Earth Grand Vision

This next shift is BIG... and it starts as simple as going back to earth.
