I have 0 regard for the person's race. Apparently others do however, this is our new head of the forest service.
He's coming in at a tough time as weather is going to kick the snot out of our forest this year .
I hope the best for our fire teams, hot shots, smoke jumpers, etc.
"Moore has served as regional forester in the California-based Pacific Southwest Region since 2007, where he has responsibility for 18 national forests in California and Hawaii.
He will take over from Christiansen as head of the 30,000-employee agency upon her retirement July 26. Christiansen and Moore will collaborate on what is already shaping up as a severe wildfire season in the West, where an epic drought, complicated by climate change, has made putting out fires more challenging and strained firefighting resources throughout the region."
