Las Vegas Springs Preserve
Visitor's Centers and Schools
The Las Vegas Springs Preserve project is a multi-disciplinary effort coordinated by the Las Vegas Valley Water District. NSI is responsible for developing the engineering and landscape plans and details for a 22-acre riparian wetland corridor intended to develop a naturalistic drainage channel with native vegetation, boulders, sand bars, and pools. The overall project includes developing a museum and nature center with interpretive trails, overlooks, and other features. NSI is working in coordination with the Water District, The Portico Group, and an Executive Design Committee including representatives from the Nevada State Museum and Historical Society.
The conditions illustrated at left and above, in photos by The Portico Group in a Sonoran Desert wash, indicates the type of vegetation and channel appearance to be created at the Las Vegas Springs Preserve. The cost for the 22 acre wetland and riparian corridor project is estimated at $1 million.
