The Trump administration has announced plans to relocate the U.S. Forest Service headquarters from Washington, D.C., to Salt Lake City, Utah, according to reports from multiple news outlets.

The relocation plan also includes shutting down research facilities in 31 states, according to CBS News reporting. The Forest Service is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and oversees 193 million acres of federal land across 44 states.

Separately, the U.S. Interior Department plans to reduce its workforce through deferred resignation and early retirement programs, Reuters reported. The Interior Department manages approximately 500 million acres of federal land and operates agencies including the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The moves represent significant organizational changes for two major federal agencies responsible for managing public lands and natural resources. The Forest Service headquarters has been based in Washington, D.C., for decades, providing proximity to congressional oversight and other federal agencies.

Details about the timeline for implementation, the number of employees affected, and the specific research facilities targeted for closure have not been disclosed. Both agencies employ thousands of workers across the United States in various capacities including land management, scientific research, and public safety.
