Summary of Talk
This presentation discusses the arrival of the Forest Service to Nevada in the early 20th Century. Nevada is not known for its timber reserves. The state is also the most arid in the U.S.. How did portions of Nevada become reserved and why did it matter to the sparsely populated residents in the state?
