Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft , NFL Green and community partners are hosting a Super Bowl “Green Week” tree planting event at
9 a . m . on
Tuesday , Jan . 23
, at Silverado Ranch Park , 9855 Gilespie St . , southeast of Silverado and Las Vegas boulevards .
Twelve trees are being planted near the new community center that is scheduled to open this spring at Silverado Ranch Park . In addition to Commissioner Naft and NFL Green , other partners include the Las Vegas Super Bowl LV III Host Committee , Nevada Plants , Verizon , the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and the Silverado Ranch Community Center .
“It’s a pleasure to be part of the NFL’s `Green Week’ initiative and its commitment to leaving a lasting legacy behind in our community after our first Super Bowl has been played , ” said Commissioner Naft , whose Commission District A includes the park and Allegiant Stadium . “Across our community , Clark County is dedicated to new technologies that promote sustainability and an abundance of green space for the public to enjoy . Our Silverado Ranch Community Center will be a shining example of that when it opens this spring . ”
Silverado Ranch Park is located in a fast - growing part of the Las Vegas Valley with a lot of new development and a lack of mature trees . Planting trees helps to increase shade and cooling and reduce urban heat island effects . Heat islands are urbanized areas that experience higher temperatures because buildings , roads and other structures absorb and re - emit the sun’s heat more than natural landscapes .
NFL Green is the National Football League’s sustainability project , which aims to reduce the environmental impact of events and leave a “green” legacy in host communities . These efforts include food recovery and distribution , recycling and solid waste management and donation of event and building materials , and community greening events and the Super Kids - Super Sharing event , a community initiative to support local youth .
