Paradise Valley Mountain Preserve Trust is stewards of 260 acres of land, including all of Mummy Mountain, the north side of Camelback Mountain and the east side of Phoenix Mountain Preserve.
“At today’s prices, which is $1.5—$2 million an acre, it’s a big testimony to the generosity of people in the township who have given the rights away to their land, either outright or through conservation easements,” said Frederick Pakis, chairman of the trust’s board.
Pakis has served on the board for 18 years and chaired for five. The PVMPT was founded in 1997, celebrating its 25th anniversary last year.
