@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social The news yesterday about the end of the Forest Service hit me harder than I expected it to.

I chalk it up to being born and raised in the West—a lot of folks in today’s Congress have never seen the land protected by the Forest Service.

What a shame.

When I was a kid, some guy a generation older than my dad (who recently died at 96), mentioned that it was a good thing that so much of the West was protected land. “otherwise it’d just be ruined”
