According to the new and improved Recovery.gov website (
paid for with $18 million of your taxes), Nevada's Division of Forestry, part of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, has been awarded $1.3 million for a "forest protection and green energy" project.
The government website claims that 26 jobs were created to destroy nearly 300 acres of Juniper and Pinyon trees since March. The project aims to reduce forest fires and provide 3,767 cubic yards of biomass.
