Lake Mead Water Quality Forum returns
After many years in hiatus, the Lake Mead Water Quality Forum is coming back together.
The group of federal, state, and local representatives will discuss conditions and potential concerns related to water quality throughout the lake and coordinate monitoring.
The initial meeting will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 9 a.m. on Microsoft Teams and will include a presentation from the Southern Nevada Water Authority on recent water quality measurements and initiatives, and updates from the Bureau of Reclamation and Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
It is anticipated that the group will meet quarterly going forward.

Wildlife research
Get your hands dirty for a great cause at the next Green-Up!
Held once a year in the spring, our Green-Up planting events along the Las Vegas Wash are great for conservationists and activists of all ages and create much-needed habitat for wildlife, reduce erosion and improve water quality. While this year's event has already taken place with 210 volunteers planting more than 3,500 native trees and shrubs, registration for the next Green-Up will open in January 2025.
