The Department of the Interior's recent decision to lay off thousands of seasonal forest service workers will undoubtedly have far-reaching negative consequences for our national parks, forests, and local communities that rely on them. California's vast federal lands are not only environmental treasures but economic drivers for nearby towns through tourism and recreation. Reducing the workforce risks mismanagement of these precious natural resources through lack of maintenance, wildfire prevention, trail upkeep, and more. I urge you to vigorously oppose these short-sighted cuts that threaten our state's ecological well-being and local economies. Robust funding and staffing must be secured to properly steward California's federal lands for current and future generations.
