Natural Resource Management Programs

Forest Stewardship Program The Forest Stewardship Program provides technical assistance to private landowners of non-industrial forestland in the state.

Forest Health Program The Forest Health Program offers assistance to landowners in the form of education and information on forest pests and disease and ways of managing them.

Urban and Community Forestry Program The Urban and Community Forestry Program seeks to raise public awareness on the value of community trees through financial, educational and technical assistance. Programs include U&CF Grants, the Arbor Day Poster Contest, Nevada's Tree City USAs, the Nevada Big Tree Program and works with the Nevada Shade Tree Council.

Nursery and Seedbank Program The Southern Nevada and Washoe Valley State Tree Nurseries produce adapted plant materials and sells them to qualified landowners for conservation use.
