Graphic - mesquite tree inside a circle- Project GREEN icon The goal of the five-phase project is to protect and restore one of the few remaining large areas of natural habitat  in the Green Valley area.  The end result of the restoration will be a useable resource that will enhance the entire community.

In order to achieve the goal, volunteers, sponsors, and City of Henderson Project GREEN staff will

  • Replace Tamarisk with native plant species
  • Reestablish a native riparian habitat
  • Develop a recreational trail for community enjoyment

The people who are volunteering their time, talent and effort to restore the Project GREEN area are real-life heroes to the environment. The efforts of our GREEN Heroes are directly responsible for restoring the habitat of native plants and animals.

Be a GREEN Hero!
