Today, TuCARE honors and remembers the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. 🇺🇸

Memorial Day is more than the start of summer — it is a time to reflect on the courage, service, and selflessness of those who gave everything to protect our freedoms.

From all of us at TuCARE, we wish you a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

Yesterday TuCARE participated in the annual Groveland Ag Day at the Pine Mountain Lake Equestrian Center. It was a great event for schools to come and learn from these natural resources and ag specialists!

No, the Forest Service isn’t being dismantled. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Our mission continues, our teams remain dedicated, and our motto endures: “Caring for the Land and Serving People.”

We understand and appreciate the support from those who care about these lands as much as we do.

Here are the facts:
• We are moving headquarters west to Salt Lake City to be closer to the 90% of the lands we manage.
• We are shifting staff capacity out from behind desks and into the forests and districts that are desperately understaffed.
• No lands are being transferred or sold to states.
• State directors will be career employees, not political appointees.
• Our research programs and activities continue.
• Our forest and district offices remain unchanged.
• Our fire program remains unchanged.
