Volunteers prepare for the Wash Green-Up

The Las Vegas Wash Coordination Committee (LVWCC) is holding its 2026 Wash Green-Up on 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.

Registration for this year's event is full. Learn how to sign up for future opportunities.
