  • Before It Was a Park
    BEFORE IT WAS A PARK Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park and its Foundations in Comstock History Nevada Division of State Parks In honor of Nevada’s 150th anniversary 1864 to 2014 By Jay Howard, LTNSP 2014, revised 2017 A State Made by Mining Ron James wrote in his Comstock history novel The Roar and the Silence, “It was the longest telegraph ever sent, but Nevadan’s did not intend to do things in a small way. With the paperwork in order, Lincoln signed Nevada into statehood on October 31st 1864, just a few days before the November presidential election. Nevada sent back a thank-you in the form of three electoral votes for the president’s reelection.” Nevadan’s were proud of their pro-Union stance during the Civil War. Needed by the United States both politically and economically, the state of Nevada was said to have been ‘Battle Born’. Though we understand this to refer to the battles that had been raging in the east since 1861, Nevada was itself a relatively peaceful territory, other than the occasional skirmishes with Native Americans, and the more serious Pyramid Lake War of 1860. Nevadan’s never saw any fighting with Confederate forces, but certainly had their share of fistfights between Unionists and Copperheads. The latter usually losing the argument. During one incident, the Stars and Bars of the Confederacy was raised over a building in Virginia City, which led to a serious altercation between townspeople. Newspapers later reported that Unionists emerged bloody, but victorious. Early in the Civil War there was some concern that Nevada could be taken by the Confederacy, but these fears were never realized.

To accomplish this, the Forest Plan: SPECIFIES THE STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES AND THE APPROXIMATE TIMING AND VICINITY OF THE PRACTICES NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THAT DIRECTION; AND ESTABLISHES THE MONITORING AND EVALUATION REQUIREMENTS NEEDED TO ENSURE THAT THE DIRECTION IS CARRIED OUT AND TO DETERMINE HOW WELL OUTPUTS AND EFFECTS WERE PREDICTED. The Forest Plan will be reviewed (and updated if necessary) at least every five years. It will be revised on a IO- to 15-year cycle. Preparation of the Forest Plan is required by the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act (RPA) as amended by the National Forest Management Act (NFMA). Assessment of its environmental impacts is required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the implementing regulations of NFMA (36 WR 219). The Forest Plan replaces all previous resource management plans prepared for the Toiyabe National Forest. Upon approval of the Forest Plan, all subsequent activities affecting the Forest must be in compliance with the Forest Plan. In addition, all permits, contracts and other instruments for the use and 0 occupancy of National Forest System lands mst be in conformance with the Forest Plan.

These recommendations have remained unchanged since 2017. The Department recommends a total harvest limit of 20 bears with the same harvest limits as 2020: combined limit of 6 bears from Units 192, 194, 195, & 196 with a female limit of 3; combined total of 6 bears from Units 201, 202, 204, and 206 with a female limit of 2; and a combined limit of 8 bears from Units 291 and 203 with a female limit of 3. If either the female limit or total limit is reached in a unit group, that unit group will be closed to further bear hunting. The Department estimates the statewide bear population at 600-700 animals (18 months of age or older). The population in Units 192, 194, 195, 196, and 291 combined was calculated using population estimation procedures in Program MARK. The population in these areas has stabilized and is estimated at 400 – 450 animals.
