State law AB356 requires local
governments to remove useless grass (nonfunctional turf) from our Parks.
Working with SNWA, staff has identified multiple areas throughout our parks to
remove useless turf along our park streetscapes, buildings, and common areas.
Unfortunately, trees will be impacted by the removal of turf in our parks. As
part of our turf removal process, we complete a site analysis to determine the
health and viability of the trees and their likely effect of diminished water.
Those deemed in poor health or unlikely to survive with less water are removed.
We make every effort to replant removed trees within our community to ensure
Henderson's tree canopy continues to grow.

water conservation efforts and how you can do your part, please visit:
