Drought has weakened some of Nevada's trees, making them more vulnerable to bark beetles. Hundreds of Jeffrey Pines in the Galena area have succumbed to the beetles. A 40-acres stand of beetle-infested trees in the Galena part of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest will be removed in coming weeks.
