Since early 2025, the U.S. Forest Service has lost roughly 7,500 employees through layoffs and buyouts — about a quarter of the workforce. The agency manages 193 million acres of public land, including the trails you hike, the campgrounds you camp at, and the wildfire crews that protect your community. This is not normal. And it's not too late. Take 90 seconds: 5calls.org · saveusfs.org #SaveOurForests #PublicLandsForAll
