2022-09-12 09:30 - 12:00 | NV
Join us at the upcoming Nevada Department of Transportation Board of Directors meeting to voice our concerns about lack of trees and tree care where it matters most – NDOT freeway corridors.
NDOT MUST add irrigation to existing mature trees to avoid further failures, increase understanding of tree care within the organization and provide trees where trees have failed (especially East Vegas where urban heat island is extreme and many trees are missing).
