Per The New Yorker, the reorg “shuts down the Service’s nine regional offices and relocates its headquarters from Washington, D.C., to Salt Lake City” where the “Service will now have, instead of a regional headquarters, a ‘state coördinator’ in the capitals of states where it has large holdings, and I think it’s safe to predict that these people will service connections to the interests that value timber more highly than those that value, say, water filtration, much less backpacking.”

The Forestry Ordinance of 1669 (“sur le fait des Eaux et Forêts") proclaimed by Louis XIV of France sought to protect and restore France’s timber resources as well as its considerable forestry heritage. The Ordinance consolidated and clarified older, more fragmented regulations. It was drafted after serious investigation of forestry exploitation practices by Colbert.
This forest management became a model throughout Europe.
