SUMMARY:Friends\, Park Add 4th Lecture to Wetlands in the Summer Series: "Ice Age Wetlands in the Las Vegas Valley"
DESCRIPTION:Clark County Wetlands Park and the Wetlands Park Friends are pleased to announce that they have added a September presentation to their “Wetlands in the Summer: An Evening Lecture Series.” On Wednesday\, September 11\, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Park’s Nature Center Auditorium\, 7050 Wetlands Park Lane\, off Tropicana Avenue. No registration is required—simply walk in and enjoy! Light refreshments will be provided during the event. \nThe September lecture is entitled\, “Ice Age Wetlands in the Las Vegas Valley\,” which will be presented by “Dr. Ranger” Lauren Parry\, a paleontologist and Park Ranger at Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument in the upper Las Vegas Wash\, Nevada. \nFor over 100 years\, scientific investigation has revealed stories of our past at Tule Springs Fossil Beds. Stories of past environments\, animals\, and people have been interpreted from the rock\, fossil\, and archeological records of the Tule Springs area\, but how have those stories evolved with us? This talk will explore the natural history of the Ice Age Las Vegas and how water has transformed the Valley for the last 570\,000 years. Learn how science can evolve and reframe our past with new perspectives and technology. \nThroughout her career and schooling\, Parry has conducted fieldwork on Nevada’s public lands\, managed fossil museum collections\, researched the lives of extinct mammoths\, and is now helping to build a new fossil park from the ground up. She earned her doctorate in paleontology from UNLV in 2020 and enjoys using her background and expertise to collaborate with other scientists\, artists\, educators\, and planners. Learning is her passion\, and she hopes to connect the community to park science and place-based history. \nPhoto credit: Desert Research Institute

SUMMARY:Lake Las Vegas Sports Club Presents "A Morning with Friends: A Peek at the Park
DESCRIPTION:Water… in the desert? What’s that “strip of green”? Adjoining the Lake Las Vegas Community to the west is a 2\,900-acre managed wild area known as Clark County Wetlands Park. With four unique habitats straddling nearly eight miles of the Las Vegas Wash and a 45\,000-square foot\, LEED Gold-certified\, state-of-the-art Nature Center on its west end\, the Park is one of Southern Nevada’s hidden gems. \nCome join members and guests and get an “insider’s peek” at Wetlands Park from special guest speaker Chris Leavitt\, who’s been associated with the Park from its earliest days. In 1995 she was appointed to serve on the Park Master Plan Committee\, charged with safeguarding the natural balance of this magical place. She went on to develop and manage the Park’s volunteer and educational programs\, retiring from the position in 2014. \nMs. Leavitt’s forty-year career includes positions at the Barrick Museum of Natural History (UNLV)\, Clark County Museum\, and Clark County Wetlands Park. She was involved with place-based education and museum collection management (including live animal exhibits)\, exhibit research and design (including the exhibits at the Wetlands Park Nature Center); and volunteer management (including establishing and managing the Wetlands Park Volunteer Program). She currently serves as President of Wetlands Park Friends\, the all-volunteer\, nonprofit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to help preserve and support the Park. \nAs a child in elementary school\, Ms. Leavitt’s teachers often referred to her as “the kid with something in her pockets\,” usually something alive! She has a lifelong passion for all kinds of animals. She has kept many different pets\, including dogs\, cats\, horses\, turtles\, lizards\, toads\, a hamster\, a tarantula\, and even a praying mantis. Ms. Leavitt’s appreciation of  wild natural areas has made County Wetlands Park the place of a lifetime for her\, personally and professionally. She holds both a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology with a minor in Earth Science and a master’s degree in Anthropology with thesis in Museum Education from the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas.
