Get your hands dirty for a great cause at the next Green-Up event! Volunteer to plant trees and shrubs along the Las Vegas Wash on Saturday, March 29, 2025 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Held once a year, our planting events are great for conservationists and activists of all ages and create much-needed habitat for wildlife, reduce erosion and improve water quality. We recommend you register early, as registration will close once we reach 350 volunteers.

Since April 2001, the Las Vegas Wash Coordination Committee has organized the Wash Green-Up volunteer planting events each year. Thanks to funding from the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, Wash Green-Ups are part of an ongoing effort to protect and enhance ecosystems along the Las Vegas Wash and increase community awareness and stewardship.
Thousands of participants have volunteered at Wash Green-Ups, revegetating hundreds of acres with more than 100,000 native plants. These events have brought together local citizens, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, high schools, fraternities, sororities, church groups, casino groups and other civic-minded entities and individuals.
The efforts of these volunteers have created much-needed habitat for wildlife and have helped stabilize the Wash’s banks, reducing erosion and improving water quality. Some of the plants used in Wash Green-Ups are grown in a greenhouse located at the Warm Springs Natural Area, owned and operated by the Southern Nevada Water Authority. Not only does this provide cost savings, using local seeds combined with a more sporadic water schedule than a typical nursery enables project managers to increase the plant quality as well as customize them for life at the Las Vegas Wash.
