Forest Service Reorganization | US Forest Service

As part of the USDA reorganization plan, the Forest Service is realigning its organizational structure to strengthen local leadership, streamline operations, and improve mission delivery. The changes include moving headquarters to Salt Lake City, transitioning to a state-based leadership model, building a network of Operations Service Centers, and unifying the agency’s research program.

@cR0w common sense, like, consolidating research centers spread across multiple unique biome types to one single location 🤡
@nullpo And abandoning long-running research already in progress. Yeah.
@cR0w exactly!
