Statewide 10-Year 100,000 Tree Plan

Nevada’s communities facing economic hardships (poverty, unemployment, low vehicle access and home ownership) often experience environmental challenges like pollution, lack of access to green spaces, and increased exposure to extreme heat. Our 10-Year, 100,000 Tree Plan launched in 2022 aims to address these issues through tree planting. We prioritize locations that have lower tree equity and that are home to disadvantaged communities. ImpactNV works with key jurisdictional partners statewide to identify strategic opportunity sites in vulnerable communities and plant appropriate drought and heat-tolerant species, to improve canopy and tree equity for residents who will most benefit from the beautification, improved air quality, extreme heat mitigation, and myriad health and social benefits.

In just three years, we’ve planted almost 7000 (collaborative) trees, with a focus on drought-tolerant species that enhance canopy and heat resilience. Our initiative will continue to grow in the coming years as we strive to make Nevada more environmentally and socially sustainable. You can track our tree planting progress in the map below, which details planting numbers (that we have directly funded) by location.
