It’s a fair question.
The project is Desert EDGE, a brilliantly conceived environmental and educational immersion experience proposed for 5.3 acres within Scottsdale’s Gateway Trailhead in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. The proposal was developed by a non-profit corporation the City Council formed expressly for that purpose in 2015. Simply put, Desert EDGE will cement Scottsdale’s international reputation as a steward of the desert while elevating the city to new heights as a world-leading interpreter, educator, and advocate for our unique Sonoran environment. For visitors, whether newbies or old-timers, Desert EDGE will be a connection experience that is informative, immersive and deeply moving.
