Environmental Justice: Tree Planting for Environmental and Social Sustainability
Nevada’s communities facing economic hardships (poverty, unemployment, low vehicle access) often experience environmental challenges like pollution, lack of green spaces, and extreme heat. Our 10-Year, 100,000 Tree Plan launched in 2022 aims to address these issues through tree planting, prioritizing areas with low tree equity scores and disadvantaged communities.
In just two years, we’ve planted over 1,400 trees, with a focus on drought-tolerant species that enhance canopy and heat resilience.
2024 has been a milestone year, with over 850 trees planted thanks to partnerships with local governments, organizations, and community groups. This marks a 283% increase over last year’s efforts, with funding support from the Southern Nevada Water Authority, Consumer Technology Association, Play Studios, Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, and Nevada residents.
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 total planting numbers by region and partner.
