The Crisis
Since January 2025, the administration has moved fast. Here's what's already happened — and what's still coming.
Over 9,000 Forest Service employees lost through firings and buyouts — about 25% of the workforce — including local Tahoe and Plumas staff. Another 7,000 layoffs are still ahead.
The FY26 budget proposes a 65% cut to total Forest Service funding — $1.4 billion in direct cuts. State, Private & Tribal Forestry funding zeroed out entirely.
HQ moving from D.C. to Salt Lake City. All 9 regional offices set to close. 57 of 77 research stations shutting down. Local decision-making power is being stripped away.
