Before you head home from your Memorial Day weekend adventure, make sure your campfire is completely out. A campfire isn’t out until it’s cold—which means: 1️⃣ Drown it with water. 2️⃣ Stir the ashes. 3️⃣ Drown it again. 4️⃣ Feel for heat (carefully!). If it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to leave. Take a moment to protect what matters—one cold campfire at a time. #MemorialDay #PreventWildfires #CampfireSafety #WildfirePrevention | Nevada Division of Forestry

We asked and they told us. Wildland firefighters carry an approximately 45 pounds of gear and personal items in their packs. Since they typically operate in remote areas and far from resupply, these packs are their lifeline. From fusees to ignite vegetation along a control line to remove fuel ahead of an approaching fire, to fire shelters for last resort safety, every item has a purpose. | Nevada Division of Forestry

Medusahead is bad news for Nevada’s rangelands. This invasive grass pushes out native plants, lowers forage quality for wildlife and livestock, and creates a wildfire hazard with its dense, dry thatch. That’s why the Nevada Division of Forestry is teaming up with Nevada Conservation Districts Program to fight back! Medusahead control in the Winnemucca area is delivering a one-two punch: aerial herbicide treatment followed by targeted spraying by the Rose Creek Crew (Humboldt Camp) with backpack

🚁🌿 Drones aren’t just for capturing great aerial views—they’re a powerful tool for natural resource management. One way we put this technology to work is through our Forest Stewardship Program, which helps landowners develop plans to meet their land management goals. These goals can include riparian restoration, habitat enhancement, and invasive species removal, among others. A key step in creating a stewardship plan is conducting a site assessment and inventorying the resources present. Drone

In September 2025, NDF crews from Pioche and Eastern Sierra (Carson City) completed more than 60 acres of fuels reduction around Jarbidge to protect roads, infrastructure, and the watershed in one of Nevada’s most remote mountain towns. The work created shaded fuel breaks, removed hazard trees, and reduced wildfire risk along key routes like Bear Creek and Charleston Road. This project was made possible through Nevada's Shared Stewardship Agreement, in cooperation with the USDA U.S. Forest Servi

Native plant of the week: Rough Angelica This week’s native plant is a rare find. The rough angelica (Angelica scabrida) is endemic to the Spring Mountains, in Clark County, Nevada. It thrives in riparian and spring habitats, among the ponderosa pines, curl-leaf mountain mahogany, and quaking aspens. In Nevada, rough angelica is considered imperiled because of its limited habitat and the pressures it faces due to development, recreational activities, encroachment by non-native invasive species,
