World Wetlands Day Volunteer Opportunity

NACD's mission is to serve conservation districts by providing national leadership and a unified voice for natural resource conservation.

NACD 2012 Annual Meeting • January 29 - February 1, 2012 • Las Vegas, NV

Join the Conservation District of Southern Nevada (CDSN) for an exciting opportunity to get a firsthand look at the Wetlands of Las Vegas! This special volunteer event, in celebration of World Wetlands Day, will take place in Las Vegas, Feb. 2, immediately following the NACD Annual Meeting. Several activities are planned throughout the day, including a cleanup event at the Pabco Road Weir site.

If you are interested in participating, contact Jennifer Clifford at jclifford@cdsn.org. Transportation will be provided between the Cosmopolitan Hotel and the Las Vegas Wetlands.

This year's World Wetlands Day theme is "Wetlands and Tourism." Wetlands tourism can benefit people and wildlife both locally and nationally. Throughout the world, approximately 35 percent of wetland sites record some form of tourism. The Las Vegas event is being organized by the Las Vegas Wash Coordination Committee, of which CDSN is a member.
