Last week, U.S. Forest Service Chief, Tom Schultz, announced plans to turn more national forests over to state management. Our national forests will basically be gone under this plan.

A Softer Corps? The Army Corps of Engineers' insistence that it control nature for economic benefit has dominated civil works culture and been exported globally, a practice some call “hydrocolonialism.” But now it is "Engineering with Nature." Is this legit? My latest for @sciam.bsky.social. 🌎🌿
Smarter, More Natural Levees Could Better Protect against Floods
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has uncharacteristically been working with nature instead of bulldozing it into submission. Will this enlightened approach prevail?

The silence is deafening: National parks' popularity is typically celebrated by administrations. Yet this administration, with all the damage they've inflicted on parks & staff, ordered no public announcement of this year's record-breaking visitation data. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/c...
National Parks Had a Record Year. Trump Officials Appear to Want It Kept Quiet.
As the administration fires rangers and other workers, an internal memo is directing the National Park Service not to publicize visitors numbers.

How are national parks funded?
Appropriations laws are passed by Congress and provide federal agencies with the authority to spend money. Currently, national parks take up less than 1/15 of 1% of the federal budget.
