Forest Service Begins Much Needed Reorganization
USFS leaders announced in October that it had consolidated regional managers to four Regional Foresters with centralized expertise hubs, housed in its nine existing regions, creating broader jurisdictions with less overhead.
This comes hand in hand with an announcement from U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins that a reorganization of the USDA, refocusing its core operations to better align with its founding mission of supporting American farming, ranching, and forestry will happen over the next several months.
According to the Department, the reorganization consists of four pillars:
-
Ensure the size of USDA’s workforce aligns with available financial resources and agricultural priorities
-
Bring USDA closer to its customers
-
Eliminate management layers and bureaucracy
-
Consolidate redundant support functions
