Forest Service Cuts Threaten Camps and Conservation | Spokane News
Description
The U.S. Forest Service is shutting down 57 of its 77 research stations, consolidating operations in Fort Collins, Colorado — a move that threatens critical wildfire prevention support for recreational camps like Camp Ghormley, which rely on local expertise for safety and land management. As staff depart and approvals slow, these camps fear losing vital guidance on prescribed burns, hazardous tree removal, and emergency response — all essential for protecting their facilities and surrounding ecosystems during high-risk fire seasons. The loss of decades of institutional knowledge could ripple through communities dependent on the agency’s stewardship of public lands.
