Will you help Chiricahua become the next national park?

Chiricahua National Monument protects a rare volcanic landscape, an irreplaceable sky island ecosystem, and a layered human history spanning thousands of years. From coatis to javelinas, and the occasional jaguar and ocelot, this region provides crucial wildlife habitat that is unique for the United States.

Elevating Chiricahua’s status to a national park would strengthen its national recognition, secure needed resources, and amplify economic benefits to surrounding communities. Urge your senators to support redesignating Chiricahua National Monument to become our country’s next national park.

Dear Senator,

I am writing to urge your leadership in advancing and supporting the Chiricahua National Park Act (S. 3715). The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed H.R. 6380 with strong bipartisan support, reflecting a shared recognition of the national significance of Chiricahua National Monument and the economic opportunity it represents for southeastern Arizona.

Chiricahua National Monument is one of the most extraordinary landscapes in the American Southwest. Its dramatic rock formations, rich biodiversity, and deep cultural history already attract tens of thousands of visitors each year. Designating Chiricahua as a national park would elevate its national profile, increase visitation and strengthen these economic benefits.

Evidence from similar designations demonstrates that national park status drives increased tourism, supports small businesses, and attracts new investment in rural communities. Importantly, this legislation maintains existing land management practices while enhancing opportunities for conservation, recreation, and Tribal engagement.

I respectfully urge you to vote in favor of the Chiricahua National Park Act and help advance this bipartisan effort to protect a remarkable landscape while strengthening rural economies in Arizona.

Sincerely,
