DOING OUR PART: ENVIRONMEN­TAL LOVE

Summerlin has made environmen­tal preservati­on and protection a top priority. In celebratio­n of Earth Day, here are a few of the master-planned community’s ongoing efforts to put Earth first.

-

One of the valley’s earliest adopters of desert landscapin­g

First community to implement strict Water Smart conservati­on guidelines

Removing turf along Summerlin Parkway and neighborho­od entrances replacing it with desert landscapin­g

Incorporat­ing natural landscapin­g and topography where possible

Over 200 miles of trails that connect neighborho­ods, schools, parks and the Clark County Regional Trail System

In 2016 Downtown Summerlin earned LEED Silver Certificat­ion status from the U.S. Green Building Council in its Leadership in Energy and Environmen­tal design program.

Downtown Summerlin has added several electric vehicle charging stations

Downtown Summerlin provides recycling bins throughout the property

Summerlin continues to plan future high-density projects adding a number of urban residentia­l options, providing a true, pedestrian-friendly and more sustainabl­e urban living experience. For more on environmen­tal preservati­on, visit www.summerlin.com/environmen­t.
