Cleaner Air, Tree by Tree - A Best Management Practices Guide for Urban Trees in Southern Nevada
This BMP guide is the work of Nevada Shades of Green, a local committee of professional arborists, landscape architects, air quality specialists, city and county planners and educators.
The purpose of this guide is to provide information on how trees improve communities and their environment, but more importantly, to provide guidelines and standards to be used when planning for trees and maintaining trees in urban landscapes in southern Nevada. It will serve as a model for citizens, local officials and developers on how to incorporate trees into the development process. Our goal is to provide standards that can be used to revise existing municipal ordinances concerning trees and landscaping, and as a result, increase our urban forest and the benefits it provides.
