Trump to “reorganize” Forest Service, close Portland regional office

Portland, OR – Yesterday, the Trump administration announced plans to move the Forest Service headquarters from Washington D.C. to Salt Lake City, Utah, shut down all regional offices, and consolidate all research facilities to Fort Collins, Colorado.

The Pacific Northwest Region office in Portland, Oregon, will be shut down.

“Moving the Forest Service headquarters to Utah sends a very clear message. Utah’s leadership is dedicated to dismantling America’s public lands,” said Climate Forests Program Manager Lauren Anderson. “The Trump administration is moving the hen house into the fox den.”

Ugh... 

The Corrupt Rotten Bastard continues his rape, pillage, and plunder campaign.

His demise cannot come soon enough. 

Created by Theodore Roosevelt and built by Gifford Pinchot to ensure professional, science-based stewardship,

the agency is now being reshaped under Chief Tom Schultz, a former logging executive.

A fucking former logging executive is in charge of The US Forest service? What. The. Fuck.

 

Gifford Pinchot's namesake and descendant lives near Seattle still ... got to meet him when I worked on an environmental education project on Bainbridge Island!  He helped create one of the first graduate programs in the sustainability sector in the late 90s.

Ain't that the fucking truth. If anyone's ever wondered why I'd post stuff asking for national help.....your reps are our only hope. But I quit doing that so much. 

We'll actually will be getting a democratic House member representing Salt Lake for the first time in years. Hopefully the progressive and not the former milquetoast rep.

But Grand Staircase and Bear Ears National Monuments are under massive attack, and Mike Lee wants to steal federal lands. Anything you can do to help would be gratefully appreciated.

Oh yeah, now the governor wants to site a nuclear facility next to the Great Salt Lake. These people are morons, each one dumber than the next. Might be time to GTFO.

Then there's this, too.  "Utah has been paying hunters and trappers to kill as many mountain lions as possible in six of the state’s 30 hunting units as part of a state-led study of how predator removal affects mule deer and bighorn sheep populations."

Between Trumpstein, the legislature, and Utah officials, I'm exhausted.

 The Chief Liquidator is engineering a fire sale, and the people are going to get burned.
