Friends of the Verde River received the 2022 Resilience Prize for its work finding and putting to work solutions to ensure the long-term health of the Verde, one of Arizona’s few rivers to flow year-round from its headwaters to its confluence with another waterway.
The Cottonwood-based group focuses on restoring habitat, sustaining river flows and bringing the community together for on-the-ground projects aimed at improving the health of the Verde.
