Beauty shot of water and surrounding vegetation at Las Vegas Wash

Reserve your spot for the Wash Green-Up

The Las Vegas Wash Coordination Committee (LVWCC) held its 2026 World Wetlands Day Registration for the annual Wash Green-Up is officially open!

Planned for Saturday, April 11, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the volunteer planting event will take place at a 6-year-old revegetation site near the Pabco Trailhead.

The site is in need of a refresh with new plants to supplement the older growth.

The Las Vegas Wash Coordination Committee hopes for about 350 volunteers to install 5,000 new plants across five acres.

Clear that morning on your calendar and save your spot at lvwash.org!
