Working on damage assessments for a heavily flooded area of our state. Then I remembered that the headwaters had burned over last summer, meaning increased runoff, faster snowmelt, etc. So I logged on to USDA's Burn Severity Portal... And all the past fire reports appear to have been deleted including recently completed ones from last summer's fires. Many links are dead.

I'll try contacting the forest offices to see if we can get a backup. This is a critical resource for the environment, our health, life, and safety.

I am at a loss, mad, and sad. These actions being taken are making our jobs and lives so hard and truly hurting everyone regardless of ideology.

"This action builds on Secretary Rollins’ announcement last month to unleash American energy by directing the USDA Forest Service to take action to remove burdensome Biden-era regulations that have stifled energy and mineral development on Forest Service land. As part of these decisive actions, the agency also canceled two mineral leasing withdrawals on Forest Service land that will help boost production of critical minerals." usda.gov/about-usda/news/press #USDA #USPol #USForestService #USFS

Emily and the Economy
Monica Tranel by Mar 5

Emily was fired from her Bob Marshall Wilderness Trail Crew job.

"As a result of the illegal terminations, there is no trail crew in the Flathead National Forest. Rivers won’t have human waste picked up. Trails won’t be cleared and opened. Outfitters, guides, hunting and fishing, floating, hiking, horse packing, will all be affected by the illegal firing of government employees."
