The Las Vegas Wash (Wash) bisects Clark County Wetlands Park and is the primary drainage channel for the Las Vegas Valley. The most extensive, but least visited area in Clark County Wetlands Park is the upland desert scrub habitat found on the north side of the Park. This habitat encompasses a diverse range of plants and wildlife species not found in other parts of the Park. Mr. Rice will showcase some of the unique species that you can find in this area.
