This is a big win for Utah and the West. With nearly 90% of Forest Service lands west of the Mississippi, moving the U.S. Forest Service headquarters to Salt Lake City will put leadership closer to the lands, communities, and challenges they manage.
It also means hundreds of jobs coming to Utah and better, faster decisions on the ground for the people who rely on our public lands, from ranchers and timber producers to families who work and recreate there.
We appreciate President Trump, Secretary Brooke L. Rollins, and Deputy Secretary Stephen A. Vaden for taking this step, and we look forward to welcoming Chief Tom Schultz and the @forestservice team to Utah.
