We have been deluged by responses to Barry Wynsma's thoughtful essay on Forest Service leadership - or the lack thereof. Provided here is some feedback on the essay.
In this issue Chair Jim Golden offers his views about NAFSR’s role in commenting on Forest Service Fire Management, then NAFSR’s comments about development of a new National Forest Planning Regulation, followed by George Leonard’s NAFSR Budget Letter. Then Job Corps features including a brief report about the transfer of the last of the Department of Interiors Job Corp centers to the Forest Service. We post a tribute to Mary Barr, Forest Service pioneer aviator and some additional information about the Equal Access to Justice Act and alleged abuses. Hank Deutsch begins a two- part article on history of the evolution of national forests. So refill your coffee cup and read the latest from NAFSR.
