The Conserve to Enhance Tucson Pilot program was launched in January 2011 with sixty participants. This pilot will provide an opportunity to establish program management details and test participation levels.
Conserve to Enhance is expanding outreach beyond Arizona, developing tools and sharing knowledge and resources that can assist other communities in piloting C2E mechanisms. We are currently working with a range of partners in several Western states to develop C2E pilot programs.
In 2011, C2E is focused on evaluating the existing Tucson Pilot program, identifying communities interested in piloting C2E and developing a Toolkit of resources to assist new communities with planning and implementing a C2E program. Because every community differs in its goals and constraints, the possibilities for C2E programs expand every time we implement the concept. The design of each pilot benefits from lessons learned from previous applications.
