Hey @REI , Trump just ordered the most devastating dismantling of the US Forest Service in 121 years. All 10 regional offices gone. 57 research stations closed. 193 million acres handed to political appointees. You built your brand on public lands. Where is your voice?

🐻 Smokey Says
Call your reps this weekend 🙏
Ask about the Forest Service reorg.
I’m slowly working through a detailed look at specific facilities— but meanwhile @morethanjustparks.bsky.social has broad coverage on overall research & program of work impact.

Just want to add a past post about USFS emerald ash borer research— Ash is an important tree important to baseball ⚾️ and often your hand tools the tool shed 🪓
Chief Shultz seems to be trying to carry on what Elon started, a year ago.
Not cool.

R&D site in East Lansing, MI is co-located w/ @michiganstateu.bsky.social’s college of Ag. & Nat. Res. on *university owned* land.

Google Street View of Northern Research Station’s Baltimore Field Office co-located at the a University of Maryland at Baltimore.
Research and Facilities The BES study area includes nearly 60,000 ha of intact forests, some 120 years old or more. In the Baltimore metropolitan region, a small network of permanent plots in urban and rural forest remnants has been established to measure ecosystem processes over time within an urban-rural gradient framework. In addition, Baltimore was one of the first cities where Urban FIA plots were established in various urban land-use and cover types. These plots are revisited every 7 years to measure changes in urban forest structure. The BES also has established a hierarchical network of 14 USGS stream-gauging stations that represent a gradient of urban development, ranging from small, single land-use watersheds to larger and complex watersheds that integrate all of the principal study area. In so doing, advantage was taken of differences in socioeconomic factors, land use, and cover among the smaller watersheds in the hierarchy to set up comparisons much like the gradient analysis of remnant forest patches described above. The network includes a reference area in an entirely forested watershed.

Baltimore Ecosystem Study (BES) is a community-based, long-term research project.
It involves researchers and educators from the Northern Research Station and more than 30 colleges, universities, community groups, and government agencies.

I'm an avid hiker/angler/camper/nature lover and what's at risk of happening with the Forest Service is terrifying. This restructuring is just a death sentence. Speak up and pressure outdoors companies to stand up with us!

I welcome those blasting out #SaveUSFS to 4M+ followers.
But: many outdoor brands “pressured” are part of “Outdoor Brands for Public Lands” via Conservation Alliance, est. 1989.
A 4/08 press release shows they sprang to action 3/31.
They do hard work.
They give funds.
Let’s recognize them 💚
U.S. Forest Service post on Facebook: No, the Forest Service isn't being dismantled. That couldn't be further from the truth. Our mission continues, our teams remain dedicated, and our motto endures: "Caring for the Land and Serving People." We understand and appreciate the support from those who care about these lands as much as we do. Here are the facts: • We are moving headquarters west to Salt Lake City to be closer to the 90% of the lands we manage. • We are shifting staff capacity out from behind desks and into the forests and districts that are desperately understaffed. • No lands are being transferred or sold to states. • State directors will be career employees, not political appointees. • Our research programs and activities continue. • Our forest and district offices remain unchanged. • Our fire program remains unchanged. https://www.fs.usda.gov/about-agency/reorganization
More damage control today…
These talking points don’t really seem to line up with reality.

"The administration is not seeking efficiencies or savings, ... they are seeking a more expansive, more profitable path for special interests through the exploitation of public goods like our national forests. Industry only profits from horizontal trees, not vertical ones."
