Reserve your spot for the Green-Up

Registration for the annual Wash Green-Up is officially open!

Planned for Saturday, March 29, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the volunteer planting event will take place at a 13-year-old revegetation site.

The site is in need of a refresh with new plants to supplement the area near the Wells Trailhead off of Galleria Drive.

The Las Vegas Wash Coordination Committee hopes for about 350 volunteers to install 4,000 new plants across five acres.

Clear that morning on your calendar and save your spot!
