The Desert Wetlands Conservancy, a private non-profit advocacy group, originated in 1995 as the Friends of the Desert Wetlands Park to help protect and restore the wetlands but changed its name in recent years to broaden its mission to the Las Vegas Valley Watershed. Its focus is outreach, partnerships and influencing public policy. The Wetlands Nature Center, a 30,000-square-foot building with exhibits and classrooms is scheduled to open its administrative offices and two classerooms this summer.
