Summerlin Las Vegas has a long-standing history as an environmentally friendly community that began even before development commenced. In 1987, three years before development began, Hughes made its first land exchange with the BLM to preserve and protect the area around Red Rock Canyon. This land swap contributed to the creation of Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area as it exists today. A second land exchange in 2002 added another 1,000-plus acres of sensitive high ground into the conservation area and set aside more than 1,200 acres for a future county trails park. Summerlin Las Vegas was the first major community to use low water-use landscapes and is often credited with helping change the once negative perception of desert landscaping. Summerlin Las Vegas was also the first to use low-light-pollution street lighting, natural drainage preservation and is committed to smart and sustainable growth via a land plan that creates and maintains an environment where residents can live, work, shop and play all within their own community
