Specifically, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages over 60 percent (approximately 48 million acres) of Nevada\u2019s land. Nevada is also home to prominent lands managed by the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), National Park Service (NPS), and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Additionally, the USFS manages approximately 5.9 million acres of land in Nevada, including some of our most cherished landscapes such as the Lake Tahoe Basin, the Ruby Mountains within the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, and the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area outside of Las Vegas. Many Nevadans rely on the services provided by Forest Service staff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Senators asked that the following information about the terminated employees be made public:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The number of employees terminated.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A description of the position and responsibilities of each terminated employee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A list and description of the projects to which each terminated employee was assigned.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A description of what information the terminated employees were provided.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The letter to the USFS can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/02.18.25-Letter-to-USFS-re-Probationary-Firings.pdf\">aqu\u00ed<\/a> and the letter to the DOI can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/02.18.24-Letter-to-DOI-re-Probationary-Firings.pdf\">aqu\u00ed<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senators Rosen and Cortez Masto are champions for Nevada\u2019s great outdoor spaces and public lands.
