From our office in Flagstaff, AZ, weâre surrounded by 1.8 million acres of the Coconino National Forest. In total, Arizona has over 11 million acres of national forest, making it the top 7th state by national forest area after Colorado.
The recent announcement that the .s.forestservice headquarters is moving from D.C. to Utah is concerning to us for many reasons, but above all, it puts the lands in our backyard, as well as 193 million acres around the country, at risk. As 9 regional offices close, over 50 research facilities are eliminated and institutional knowledge is lost, the effects on public land management will be far reaching.
As a business that relies on responsibly managed and accessible outdoor lands, and as a part of the broader outdoor community, we arenât sitting on the sidelines. Weâre focused on ensuring that the Forest Service is fully funded and stewarding our lands in a responsible manner, and itâs why weâre joining in D.C. next month to speak directly to lawmakers about these issues. Weâll continue to share, speak out, and encourage our community to do the same.
If youâre not sure where to start, sending a message to your representatives helps ensure this issue isnât swept under the rug, and sharing with your community helps spread awareness. See our bio link or visit 5calls.org for resources
