A group of concerned and active Tucson residents has organized to find a way to preserve A-Mountain so that future generations can enjoy the beautiful, unspoiled and undeveloped slope of A-Mountain.    The private land owners are amicable to discussing options for purchase or trade for their land to permanently preserve this icon of Tucson. 

The area in question encompasses just under 30 acres, collectively.  The area  is zoned both R-1 and R-2. The parcels are located in the Hillside Development Zone (HDZ) which lowers the number of homes that can be built on the slope, but does not prevent development. Without the HDZ, developers could build 164 homes. The actual number will be less due to the HDZ.
