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.

Trump plans to move Forest Service headquarters to Utah and shutter research sites

Many regional offices will close in the reorganization.

@AAKL I'm so mad. Obviously it pales in comparison to their other atrocities but to go after the last part of the country that people are able to go enjoy without giving rich people money is infuriating.

@cR0w this reminds me of previous announcements about drilling in public lands. Or maybe data centers? On the plus side, the states now have more say.

@AAKL Sort of. For now at least. But how well is it going to work when, say, Idaho destroys Kaniksu National Forest to own the libs all the way up to the Washington border? Despite the fact that I care about the national forests across the entire country, other states destroying their forests for profits will significantly impact the rest of us. And not just recreation.

@cR0w It won't change while the clowns are in charge.
