On October 30, 2021, Shine City Project partnered up with Get Outdoors Nevada for a service project at Tule Springs National Monument. Las Vegas was once a place filled with marshes and wet meadows, spring pools and ponds, and spring-fed streams where mammoths, camels, bison, ground sloths, lions, wolves, saber-toothed cats, and many more used to roam. For over a century, tens of thousands of fossils have been collected from this area.
The group of six Shine City Project volunteers met with other groups, families, and individuals to help pick up trash in the area of the National Monument. With everyone's help, more than 400 pounds of litter was collected. Though trash was sparse and hard to find for some the volunteers were overall happy to explore the area and be surrounded by its natural beauty. After the service project, the team had a picnic lunch at nearby Floyd Lamb Park and had the opportunity to walk around Gilcrease Orchard.
