Nev. Admin. Code § 528.050 - Cutting practices, prohibitions
1. No Christmas
trees may be cut within 100 feet of any public road or highway on any state,
county or privately owned lands, unless written permission is obtained from the
state forester firewarden or his authorized agent.
2. Reserve trees, seed trees and reproduction
must not be damaged or destroyed by equipment or falling operations, except
where after reasonable inspection it is unavoidable due to safety factors, lean
of tree, obstructions, roads, or insufficient openings for falling.
3. All falling must be in line with the
skidding direction when reasonably possible.
4. Stumps must be as low as possible but not
over 14 inches above the ground line on the side adjacent to the highest
ground.
5. All limbs must be lopped
within 8 inches of the trunk on the exposed sides of the unutilized portion of
all downed trees, when this can be done safely, within a reasonable length of
time but not more than 7 days after falling. Slash must be scattered to provide
rapid drying to prevent breeding areas for forest insect pests or disease.
Slash must not be burned on grades greater than 25 percent without approval of
the state forester firewarden.
