HENDERSON (KLAS) — The City of Henderson’s park code compliance officers responded to at least 24 complaints at the Whitney Mesa Nature Preserve related to e-bikes, trash, and homelessness, according to a statement from Henderson’s public information officer.
The new information comes as neighbors and visitors weighed in on the area after a fire tore through part of the preserve on the morning of January 14th. One unidentified person was found dead after firefighters extinguished the fire.
“Over the past. There’s been a couple of fires, and at least one significant one was caused by a homeless encampment,” said neighboring resident, Trevor Lavancher, on the morning of the fire. “It’s been a problem that’s been going on for a while, but also to that, the entire area back there behind these houses that were evacuated, it’s been unkept for a while.”
