Trump to move Forest Service headquarters from DC to Salt Lake City
The Trump administration says it will be moving U.S. Forest Service headquarters from the nation's capital to Utah as part of a broad overhaul. The announcement was made Tuesday, winning praise from Republican lawmakers in Western states while drawing criticism from environmental groups that see the move as an attempt to dismantle the agency. Federal officials say the change puts leaders closer to the forests they manage. The agency notes most national forest land sits in the West. About 260 Washington-based jobs will relocate, while 130 stay. The U.S. Agriculture Department, which oversees the Forest Service, has also shifted thousands of workers out of Washington.
