Randy Moore Retires

[J_Woulfe]

After weeks of complete radio silence from the Chief and Regional Foresters, Rando Moore, Chief of the US Forest Service, sent out an email today to all employees wishing them well and announcing his retirement. His has not been a very strong leader throughout his tenure, and his retirement adds more uncertainty to an agency already troubled by a seasonal hiring pause and layoffs of probationary employees.

The new chief is an outsider and former timber industry exec. I’m gonna withhold judgment. I’m not against the timber industry by any means.

Like his ties to my alma mater and Wyoming.
