## Resource

The U.S. Forest Service is shutting down 23 facilities nationwide to slash costs and redirect funds toward its core mission—here’s why it matters: over half of their 16,000+ buildings are in poor shape, costing billions to fix, and a third of office space sits underused. By eliminating unnecessary physical spaces, they’ll keep essential staff while freeing up cash for research, services, and modern operations—putting sustainability and mission ahead of maintenance.
