Cascabel Conservation Association is located in the middle San Pedro River Valley and is dedicated to the collaborative stewardship of its land, water, and living beings through a distinct conservation ethos. CCA founds this ethos on the belief that conservation comes from the relationship of people with the land. To that end, CCA offers a hermitage program, a community garden, and a conservation program, all aimed at connecting people with the land and fostering a sense of communion with all living beings. The basis of this perspective can be found in the Land Covenant.

The inaugural cohort (2021-2022) of Liverman scholars worked in collaboration with Cascabel Conservation Association to create a series of communication pieces. These included a website, written and visual reflections for the CCA’s annual newsletter, and a guided visual and audio meditation. To see the final pieces, please visit our gallery.
