Conservation Easement Documentation Report
A. Introduction
This Easement Documentation Report (“Documentation Report”) has been prepared in
conjunction with a conservation easement (“Conservation Easement”) granted to The Nature
Conservancy, a non-profit corporation organized and existing under the laws of the District of Columbia
(“Conservancy”), over Protected Property (as defined below) being conveyed by the Conservancy to
Maricopa County, a political subdivision of the State of Arizona (“County”). The Conservation
Easement covers approximately 65.3 acres of land in Maricopa County, Arizona, as legally described in
attached Exhibit 1 (“Protected Property”). The Protected Property and the building area within the
Protected Property (the “Building Envelope”) are shown on the attached Exhibit 2, maps A through C.
This Documentation Report is intended to document the condition of the Protected Property as of
March 9, 2017 and to provide a natural resources inventory of the Protected Property.
B. Location
The Protected Property is located in Maricopa County, Arizona, three miles southeast of the
Town of Wickenburg. Wickenburg is located approximately 60 miles northwest of the City of Phoenix,
Arizona. The Protected Property is bordered by US 60/89 to the east, BLM Vulture Mountains
Cooperative Management Area to the West, and contains a stretch of the Hassayampa River.
The Protected Property is legally described on Exhibit 1. Exhibit 2A shows the location of the
Protected Property on a map. The Protected Property can be reached by traveling north on Interstate 17
from the City of Phoenix. Continue west on Arizona Highway 74 (Carefree Highway) for approximately
30 miles. Turn north onto US 60/89 and follow for 6.2 miles to the Protected Property entrance. The
Protected Property is located west of US 60/89 and is accessible via a gravel road located approximately
464 feet northwest of milepost 114.
C. Site Description of Conservation Area
The Conservancy has identified areas with significant conservation priorities through a planning
process known as Ecoregional Planning. These sites are known as Conservation Areas. The Protected
Property is within the Hassayampa River Conservation Area. The Hassayampa River Preserve
(“Preserve”) protects nearly five miles of perennial flow towards the downstream end of the
Conservation Area. The Preserve protects key riparian habitat and supports several rare species,
including southwestern willow flycatcher, yellow-billed cuckoo and the only known nesting location for
red-shouldered hawks in the State of Arizona. Historically, the overall goals for this Conservation Area
are (1) to maintain riverine system functions and (2) to maintain the intact desert-upland-to-river
landscape. Specifically, the Conservancy works to maintain: quantity and quality of existing baseflows in
the Hassayampa River; natural river floodplain morphology; unfragmented desert uplands and connection
between river and wash/sediment complexes to the west and east; and maintain and enhance, where
necessary and feasible, existing populations of all Federal and State listed species.
The Conservancy is developing partnerships with federal, state and local public agencies and
private entities to identify common conservation objectives in a broad landscape-scale context; raise
public and private awareness concerning the ecological significance and threats to the site; and develop
initiatives to accomplish conservation goals.

D. Ecological Features/Conservation Values of the Protected Property
The purpose of the Conservation Easement is to preserve and protect in perpetuity the
Conservation Values (defined below) and the Conservation Purpose, defined as follows:
The Protected Property is a natural area that consists of “a relatively natural habitat of fish,
wildlife, or plants, or similar ecosystem,” as that phrase is used in 26 U.S.C. § 170(h)(4)(A)(ii) and
applicable regulations. Specifically, the Protected Property is habitat for one of the best remaining
occurrences of Fremont cottonwood – Goodding willow riparian forest in the Sonoran desert. This forest
supports the endangered southwestern willow flycatcher, and endangered western yellow-billed cuckoo,
among a community of at least 291 resident and migratory bird species. The riverine habitat of the
Hassayampa River currently supports native desert fish. In addition to the Hassayampa’s riparian
resources, the currently unfragmented desert landscape that surrounds the Preserve represents an intact
desert upland to river corridor, a rare feature in the urbanizing Sonoran desert. This landscape supports a
full complement of desert fauna and flora associated with the Arizona upland subdivision of the Sonoran
desert. Combined with the river corridor, this landscape provides an open space buffer between the
developing urban areas of Phoenix and Wickenburg.
The attributes of the Protected Property described in this section and in this Documentation
Report are sometimes collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Conservation Values”.
E. Master Plan
The term “Master Plan” shall mean the Hassayampa River Preserve Site Master Plan as
approved by The Nature Conservancy and the Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department’s Park
Commission dated November 15, 2016, as the same may be amended from time to time. The purpose of
the Master Plan is to outline the long-range vision for the Preserve as well as to guide the site-specific
development priorities that will provide for both the public’s enjoyment and the protection of the
Preserve’s resources. The plan provides a conceptual planning framework for establishing those priorities
and specifies certain additional conditions of use. The plan also recommends additional research as well
as the development of other plans/strategies. Other plans/strategies may tier from or otherwise support the
Master Plan.
F. Photographs
Photographs documenting the current condition of the Protected Property accompany this report
and are incorporated by reference. The photographs were taken on November 18, 2016, and follow-up
photographs were taken on March 8, 2017 to document changes on the property since the original photos
were taken on November 18, 2016. A brief description of each photograph appears in Exhibit 3 and the
photographs follow. The points from which photographs were taken are shown on Map C in Exhibit 2.
Exhibit 4 presents a table of the GPS Waypoints for each of the Photo Points.
G. Protected Property Uses and Condition
The Conservation Easement contains a number of provisions which place restrictions on the use
and development of the Protected Property. Each Protected Property use, as set forth in the Conservation
Easement and the additional conditions of use stated in the Appendix attached to the Master Plan, are
excerpted in bold below and followed by a detailed description of the current conditions and features of
the Protected Property relevant to each Protected Property use. The Protected Property uses appear as
numbered in the Conservation Easement and additional conditions of use. References to/for paragraph
numbers, capitalized terms, definitions and exhibits in the excerpts refer to terms defined in paragraphs
