Goal of the Trust

The goal of the Mummy Mountain Preserve Trust is to perpetuate the natural landscape, desert plants, wildlife and scenic beauty of the mountain areas of the Town.

The Trust protects precious land on the mountains from future development in order to preserve it as natural open space in perpetuity.

The Trust seeks to add approximately 100 acres located on the upper reaches of Mummy Mountain to the 217 acres already a part of the Preserve area.

Preservation of Mummy Mountain honors the vision of those who established similar trusts to preserve Camelback Mountain and the Phoenix Mountains.

The Mummy Mountain Preserve Trust builds on this enduring legacy.
