This year, the U.S. Capitol Christmas tree will be harvested from the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in Nye County, Nevada, marking the first time Nevada has provided the tree. Two non-profit groups, Society of American Foresters and Sierra Forever, are collaborating with the forest service to transport the tree to Washington, D.C., in time for the holiday season. The tree will serve as a celebration of Nevada’s national forests and the spirit of the Silver State. This initiative highlights the importance of preserving and appreciating the country’s natural resources, while also showcasing the beauty and diversity of Nevada’s landscapes. Stay tuned as the team at Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest prepares for this prestigious honor, representing the state on a national stage during the festive time of year.
