美国森林局宣布关闭23个研究和开发中心，分布在十多个州，作为特朗普政府重组计划的一部分1。此举预计节省约1600万美元1，同时95名研究中心员工将被调往其他地点1。原本有41个研究设施面临关闭，但由于地方官员和国会议员的反对，这些设施将保留1。
森林局副首席Chris French表示："我们的主要目标是控制我们的设施成本。我们没有关闭任何正在进行的科学活动。我们没有关闭任何对研究人员重要的实验林。"1 农业部长Brooke Rollins表示此举是为了让领导层更接近他们管理的土地和依靠这些土地的人民1。
作为更广泛重组举措的一部分，森林局总部计划从华盛顿迁至盐湖城，预计明年夏季完成1。在特朗普第二任期内，森林局已裁减约6000名员工，占员工总数的15%1。
The U.S. Forest Service announced the closure of 23 research and development centers spread across more than a dozen states as part of a reorganization plan under the Trump administration, aimed at reducing costs and concentrating resources in western regions.1 The reorganization will result in approximately 95 research center employees being relocated to other locations.1
The decision follows significant pushback from local officials and members of Congress, which led the Forest Service to preserve 41 research facilities that had previously faced closure.1 The closures are expected to generate savings of approximately $16 million.1 In addition to the facility shutdowns, the Forest Service headquarters is planned to relocate from Washington to Salt Lake City, with completion targeted for the summer of next year.1
The restructuring represents part of broader cuts implemented during Trump's second term, with the Forest Service having reduced its workforce by approximately 6,000 employees, representing 15 percent of its total staff.1 Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins characterized the reorganization as necessary to bring leadership closer to the lands they manage and the communities that depend on those resources.1 Deputy Chief Chris French of the Forest Service stated: "Our primary goal is to control our facility costs. We have not closed any ongoing scientific activities. We have not closed any experimental forests that are important to researchers."1
