- The Forest Service manages 154 national forests and 20 national grasslands across 193 million acres, the country’s second-largest public or private land base.
- The announced reorganization would halt most experimental-forest research and close research stations across the U.S. Forest Service network.
- It would also shut nine regional offices and relocate headquarters from Washington, D.C., to Salt Lake City.
- According to the Sierra Club, Forest Service chief Tom Schultz previously handled timber procurement and government relations at Idaho Forest Group.
