The simplest way is to give money to the advocates.
They oppose principal use and management at the minimum feasible level.
They’re always talking about wild horse removal.
They want the ranchers to win.
There is another option that requires more effort on your part but the pass-through cost is zero.
Go cut a Christmas tree in one of the HMAs.
You’ll need a permit as explained in this announcement.
Only pinyon pines and junipers may be taken.
The Pine Nut Mountains and Virginia Range are off limits.
These trees are subject to hand thinning, mastication, chaining and “lop and scatter” because they crowd out forage preferred by livestock.
The projects are usually peddled as sagebrush restoration and fuels reduction, as in this example by the Ely District Office.
Junipers would not make very good Christmas trees in this writer’s opinion but pinyon pines would make a nice addition to your holiday decor.
Better yet buy some land in Nevada and you can decorate them in place year after year.
