Block all funding for the Forest Service headquarters relocation to Salt Lake City and the shutdown of the agency's ten regional offices. This reorganization is designed to destroy the agency, not improve it. The plan mirrors the Bureau of Land Management move to Grand Junction, which caused 87% staff loss. Of 328 positions ordered to relocate, only 41 employees moved at all and just three actually went to the new headquarters. That wasn't failure—it was the goal. Purge career professionals, replace them with political appointees. The choice of Salt Lake City exposes the real agenda. Utah is currently suing to seize 18.5 million acres of public land. Governor Spencer Cox already signed an agreement giving Utah control over eight million acres of national forest. Relocating the agency headquarters there hands our forests to a state actively working to dismantle federal land protections. Consolidating fifty research facilities into Fort Collins will kill decades of irreplaceable ecological research. Watershed studies and old-growth monitoring programs cannot be moved. When these facilities close, the experiments die and the data ends. These forests belong to all Americans, not the timber industry. Demand congressional oversight and refuse to fund this dismantling of the Forest Service.
