    Like I thought, both of these state its being restructured, not dismantled. There is and will still be a functioning forest service doing research.

    Not that I like the restructure but accuracy matters.

      So far none of the Trump administration’s restructuring has been benign. If an incompetent lackey is put in place, and one will be, they have all proven to destroy the previous work.

        Every one of your own sources contradicts your post. Your post is still misinformation, no research has been stated to cease, only that some portion of the research stations will move to a centralized location.

        So, you are spreading misinformation by saying the research has been halted because nobody has said whether any research will be halted. No research program has been stated to be “destroyed” or otherwise dismantled.

          The labs that are being “relocated” are next to the forests that they study. How the fuck do you study forests from a central headquarters in Utah?

          How does moving research away from the study sites that need actively monitored not affect research? That’s not how this stuff works. The geographical locations of the offices is extremely important for this stuff. Does not one remember the maps of forests they planned to sell off last year? This also gets rid of people because not all can relocate and a lot of those are not going to be replaced.

            Please tell me how effecting research is equivalent to destroying their research program, which is what you posted.
