The Diablo Trust, a not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation, is an Arizona Land Management Team and National Reinventing Government Laboratory.  Land-specific to 426,000 acres of mixed ownership lands, the Trust began in 1993 when two long-time Arizona ranches, the Bar-T-Bar and the Flying M Ranch, called together people they knew cared for the land.  The ranches asked people for ideas to assist them in the protection of open spaces and healthy habitats.  Today, the Trust, open to everyone, provides a forum for the community to actively participate in a land stewardship process.  Additionally, the ranch lands provide "hands-on" proving grounds for new, collaborative land management ideas.
