The Clock is Ticking

The clock is ticking to Save the Scenic Santa Ritas. Imagine this area as a clock.

To the North, where the 12 would be is the town of Vail, Az.

One o’clock you have Cienega Creek Preserve.

Two o’clock: Davidson Canyon

Three o’clock: Andrada Ranch and The Hilton Ranch Road Community

Four o’clock: Las Cienegas National Conservation Area

Five O’clock: Sonoita

Six o’clock: Greaterville Road and Box Canyon

Seven o’clock: Madera Canyon

Eight o’clock: Florida Work Center and Florida Wash

Nine o’clock: The Santa Rita Experimental Range

Ten o’clock: Sahuarita

Eleven o’clock: Corona de Tucson and Sycamore Canyon

Then, dead in the middle of all this beauty and wildlife, right where the hands of the clock would be, is Rosemont Junction where the Rosemont Mine wants to open.
Please tell me why this makes sense to anyone?

In 2004 there was a Proposal to Preserve The Santa Rita Rosemont Ranch area put before the Pima County Government. Click on the link to read the history of Rosemont Ranch, the proposal and to see a map and photos of the area. Question: How did we let this opportunity slip away?
