FROM PATAGONIA:
Our employees, customers and communities depend on public lands. Moving the Forest Service’s headquarters to Utah will gut the agency and effectively remove anyone who doesn’t move to an office 2,000 miles away from its current location. By shutting down USFS research stations, culling staff, and moving the headquarters away from where decisions about federal lands are made, it will be surprising if USFS can effectively manage anything at all.
Looking at the current move to overturn the management plan of Grand Staircase-Escalante and all the other ways public lands are being threatened in Utah, there’s no reason to believe this will benefit anything other than the extractive industries. We will continue working with our Tribal and nonprofit partners to protect public lands and advocate for more funding for USFS and the Bureau of Land Management. This is an uphill battle, and we’re in it with you. Here's a link to Patagonia Action Works: https://www.patagonia.com/actionworks/home/choose-location/. Through this link you can find local organizations to partner with that may also be fighting for this cause. Also, we recommend contacting your local congressperson so your voice is heard there as well.
