Why This Matters?
Why This Matters?
500+ heat related deaths annually in Clark County, NV
Only 7% current urban canopy while 15% is the benchmark
This means there are not enough trees making shade where it matters most.
What We are Doing?
What We are Doing?
The Las Vegas Urban Forest Center (LVUFC) will be planting 3,000 trees across the valley by 2028.
The UAQL will be setting up AQ monitoring devices in select locations. This will increase the monitoring network and track daily improvements of this program.
Our sensors measure hourly Ozone, PM2.5, Temperature, and Relative Humidity.
