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.
