Desert Conservation Program


The Clark County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) and Incidental Take Permit are being amended. The public is invited to attend informational meetings currently being planned throughout January and February 2025.  These meetings will educate Clark County residents and stakeholders about the changes being proposed.  This is an opportunity for our community to participate in the process and provide feedback prior to the submission of the final amendment application.  If you would like to be notified directly once the meeting dates and times are confirmed, please complete this simple interest form.
