Tell Congress to hold hearings on how the US Department of Agriculture Secretary can implement a reorganization of the US Forest Service in direct contravention of legislation that both houses of Congress passed and the President signed into law; and how the General Counsel is allowed to declare a duly enacted law unconstitutional by internal memo and face no consequences. 🙃

In California, six Forest Service research stations will be closed. Dozens of facilities here and around the country will be eliminated, as research will be consolidated in a handful of locations.
Besides ending critical regional projects this will result in the loss of highly qualified research personnel.

RED ALERT: TRUMP ENDS FOREST SERVICE
Late Tuesday afternoon, the Trump administration announced the most devastating attack on the U.S. Forest Service in the agency’s 121-year history. An execution.
They’re shuttering every one of the ten regional offices. They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable science, the kind you literally cannot restart once it’s gone.
And they’re replacing all of it with fifteen lobbyists who have spent their careers demanding that the #ForestService log more, protect less, and get out of the way.
One hundred and ninety-three MILLION acres of your national forests. An area larger than Texas. The largest public land agency in the country. Just handed on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.
And they did it with a press release.
(I needed reader mode to see the page, dunno why)

Dear Senator / Representative -
I want you to take legislative action to undo the recently announced change to the Forest Service.
I am appalled by gutting of the US Forest Service. This Republican Administration has announced that it is shuttering all 10 regional offices, and with them,the career professionals who spent entire lifetimes earning the expertise and the authority to push back on ideas that would harm long-term forest health.
They are closing the rural science research facilities in 31 states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable science on the forests that help generate the rain that falls on the US. And they’re replacing all of it with 15 political appointees called “state directors,” embedded in state capitals alongside the very governors, legislators, and industry lobbyists who have spent their careers demanding that the Forest Service log more and protect less.
The technical experts they are losing are the people who know exactly what logging will ruin what watershed.
I am asking you to stand with every member of Congress and uphold the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt with legislation that keeps science and the public at the forefront of decision-making about public lands. Protect National Forest land.

And what set me off? The cuts to the #ForestService! Don't get me wrong. I'm angry about a lot of what #TrumpSucks does. But this... Selling off that which does not belong to #Colonists to begin with... If it were up to me, I'd give all of the #LandBack to its rightful caretakers!

US #ForestService will relocate its headquarters from #DC to #SaltLakeCity #Utah moving hundreds of positions as part of broader agency reorg #Trump administration says would move officials closer to #forest communities - hollow out current staff of service’s DC headquarters. Trump similarly moved #BLM headquarters to Colorado in 1st term, leading 90 percent of the staff to leave the agency — only for it to return to Washington. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2026/03/31/forest-service-headquarters-move-utah-trump/ #government #wildfires #environment
