Revegetation and restoration activities including weed removal, planting, maintenance of irrigation systems; Water quality monitoring activities including quarterly sampling of the wash and tributaries, real-time monitoring, and adding telemetry systems; wildlife management activities including rodent and shrew surveys, bat surveys, threatened and endangered bird surveys, and avian point count surveys; Coordinating committee program management activities.
The activities funded address some of the Las Vegas Wash Coordination Committee primary activities relating to revegetation and implementation monitoring, water quality monitoring in the Las Vegas Wash mainstream and tributaries, Las Vegas Wash Wildlife Management Plan, and Las Vegas Wash Coordination Committee program management.
