FURTHER READING | Trump administration plans closure of 4 Michigan forestry research centers Last week, the USDA announced plans to move its headquarters to Salt Lake City, Utah, alongside the sweeping restructuring of the agency. The restructuring will close more than 50 USFS research and development facilities across the country. Under the new model, the agency plans to have 15 state directors spread across the nation to oversee forest service operations in one or more states.
