The Chaotic USFS Reorganization Came at the Worst Time

Before I get started, I want to thank More Than Just Parks for recommending Wilderness. They recently published a useful guide to the USFS reorganization, which you can access HERE.

This newsletter is written by me, River Selby, a neurodivergent and queer former wildland firefighter and hotshot, current researcher, and writer (I do not use AI to write, brainstorm, or research). I wrote a book called HOTSHOT, which details the seven years I spent working as a wildland firefighter. HOTSHOT is also a natural history of fire suppression through the lens of decolonization. It’s currently half-off, so now’s the time to get yourself (or your friend or family) a copy (or two). You’ll learn a lot about the history of fire suppression, including the development of these giant land management agencies.
