Newest hat and those who know me know I need another hat like I need more hoodies, coffee mugs, toy John Deere tractors or Hot Wheels; each hat, as is the case with most of the items in my collections, means something and this one is no exception. I’ll wear it for dad, a HUGE fan and supporter of the USFS who died last year and my oldest boy Ryan, who completed a semester of college as he began his goal of being a USFS ranger inspired by his grampa J before he was KIA in Iraq during 2006.

USFS Bartlett Experimental Forest is closing. This was a reference site in much of my research in the US.

It has been almost 9 years since I left the US, and it is sometimes hard to admit how profoundly events in US still affect me. Parts of my life are tied up in it.

U.S. Forest Service cuts raise concerns on protecting public lands and fighting wildfires

Sweeping changes are coming for the U.S. Forest Service, which manages roughly a third of America’s public land. The agency announced a dramatic overhaul of cuts, closures and consolidation. That’s on top of the Trump administration's latest budget request that seeks to slash billions of dollars. But some worry it could undermine the agency's mission. William Brangham reports.

‘You can call these positions “career” all you want. You can print it on business cards. You can post it on your website in bold type. It doesn’t change the fact that you just eliminated the only structural layer of professional independence between political pressure and 193 million acres of public forest, and replaced it with political liaisons whose entire job is to coordinate with the governors and legislators who want to liquidate those forests.’ #USFS #SaveUSFS

Trump administration orders dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service

Late Tuesday afternoon, with the subtlety of a wrecking ball and the morality of a foreclosure notice, the Trump administration announced the most devastating attack on the U.S. Forest Service in the agency’s 121-year history. Not a budget cut. Not a policy shift. Not a “reorganization.” An execution.
