US Forest Service restructuring and America’s public lands

In addition to slashing the budget of National Parks, the Trump administration now plans to restructure the U.S. Forest Service by moving its headquarters, closing regional offices and reducing staff and research. On this hour of All Sides, we’re talking about what this move, which critics are calling a “gutting,” will mean for America’s public lands. Guests: Jory Heckman, senior reporter, Federal News Network Gabrielle Berthel, forest advocate, Natural Resources Defense Council Jim Pattiz, filmmaker, conservationist, co-founder, More Than Just Parks (photo: Michael Joseph Oswald)
