Episode Details

The Trump administrations restructuring of the U.S. Forest Service is causing significant changes in Alaska, with the closure of the Anchorage Forestry Sciences Lab and the Pacific Northwest Research Station in Oregon. The Tongass and Chugach national forests, the largest in the country, are affected, and Senator Lisa Murkowski is leading the charge to protect Forest Service jobs in Alaska. The Anchorage lab, which conducts research for Tongass, Chugach, and other regions, is also closing, and the Oregon station, which handled key Alaska work, is also affected. The changes come after brutal staff cuts, with nearly six thousand jobs lost from the Forest Service. Alaska is fighting to keep its forests strong.
