Cocopai: what does it mean?
The name
"Cocopai" is a combination of
Coconino and
Yavapai Counties.
The RC&D program is a
unique combination of private enterprise and federal assistance that
encourages the blending of natural resource use with local economic and
social values. Program objectives address improving the quality of life,
including social, economic and environmental concerns; continuing
prudent use of natural resources; and strengthening local citizens'
ability to utilize available resources of assistance through federal and
state agencies, and other public and private entities. |
