Henderson seeks volunteers for project
The Henderson Parks and Recreation Department is inviting residents, businesses, clubs, organizations and schools to take part in the Nevada's Trees 2000 Project.
The project's goal is to commemorate Nevada Day and the millennium by planting drought-resistant and regionally appropriate trees in every part of the state as a gift to future generations.
In Henderson, more than 100 volunteers have already committed to participate in 10 tree-planting projects throughout the city on Saturday. Participants are still needed for 10 additional neighborhood projects ranging from small (five trees) to large (20 trees). Most of the smaller projects can easily be completed in two to three hours.
Call the Henderson Parks and Recreation Department at 565-4264.
