BLM brings trees to kids

Thursday, Dec. 7, 2000 | 5:03 a.m.

The BLM, United Way of Northern Nevada and Sierra Pacific Power Company volunteers will go out on Sunday into the Pine Nut Mountains east of Dayton to cut designated trees. The Sierra Pacific trucks will be used to haul them.

It's the third year for the effort, which BLM Carson City Field manager John Singlaub calls a win-win program.

He said the public lands benefit by the thinning and families who can't afford a tree will get one.

"There will be some smiling little kids around here because of this project," he said.

Volunteers are welcome to join the party at 9 a.m. Sunday at Dayton High School. Four-wheel drive vehicles are needed, although pooling will be available. People should bring their own lunch and some water.
