2007 Valley Forward Top Environmental Award

Native Resources International was among the recipients of 2007 Environmental Excellence Award Winners for the Revegetation of DC Ranch Burned Lots.

This unique project resulted in the revegetation of three undeveloped and pristine lots within DC Ranch in north Scottsdale that were extensively damaged by fire due to human negligence in 2005. A survey of the vegetation was performed and the condition of plant material assessed. Vegetation beyond survival was cleared and removed from the site, then irrigation lines were trenched and short-term drip irrigation was installed. The revegetation plant palette was based on assessment data and observation of the species and distribution found within the natural areas adjacent to the burned lots. The project demonstrates an exceptional commitment to maximizing open spaces and creating homes that blend with the natural environment.
