Elizabeth “Liz” C. Archuleta County Park: Fostering Hope, Heritage, and Community Centered Environmental Education

2023 Crescordia Award Recipient

Coconino County’s Elizabeth “Liz” C. Archuleta County Park provides multicultural, community-centered education programs in English, Spanish, and Navajo.  Located on a former sawmill, Coconino County revitalized the contaminated site into a beautiful park.  In partnership with the Willow Bend Environmental Education Center, the County developed environmentally-focused education programs that visitors can enjoy along with the park’s outdoor classrooms, gardens, and watchable wildlife platform.
