LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — This year, the U.S. Capitol Christmas tree will be coming from a national forest in Nye County.
The tree will be harvested from the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, which is the first to come from Nevada.
Two non-profit groups will be helping the forest service. Society of American Foresters and Sierra Forever is leading a team of partners to get the tree to Washington, D.C., for the holiday season.
Watch the team at Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest prepare for this honor:
Nevada tree to be displayed at U.S. Capitol
They hope this token will celebrate Nevada's national forests and the spirit of the Silver State.
