Late Tuesday afternoon, with the subtlety of a wrecking ball and the morality of a foreclosure notice, the Trump administration announced the most devastating attack on the U.S. Forest Service in the agency’s 121-year history. Not a budget cut. Not a policy shift. Not a “reorganization.” An execution.
The National Park Service is a different department. The Forest Service is part of the agriculture department, it’s about managing forests as exploitable natural resources.
So that’s good news, in the bleakest way, I guess.
