Organized
in 1984 to protect the free flow of the Gila and San Francisco
Rivers and the wilderness characteristics of the Gila and
Aldo Leopold Wilderness areas, the Gila Conservation Coalition
(GCC) is a partnership of local environmental and conservation
groups and concerned individuals that promote conservation
of the Upper Gila River Basin and surrounding lands. The GCC
was instrumental in stopping the Hooker and Conner Dam proposals
in the 1980s. The group also achieved protection of the East
Fork of the Gila River from road building and partial closure
of the wild San Francisco River to ORV use.
