Mass Layoffs Devastate Public Lands

Mass Layoffs Devastate Public Lands

Mass layoffs across federal land management agencies threaten the health and accessibility of public lands—here’s what’s at stake and how you can help.

On Valentine’s Day, the White House fired thousands of federal employees, including many of the people formerly tasked with stewarding our public lands. These layoffs targeted employees within their “probationary period,” (1-2 years on the job) and veterans hired through non-competitive processes. Agencies affected include the Forest Service, Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Who was impacted?

Across the public land agencies, most of the people who lost their jobs were those working to keep public lands accessible, sanitary, and ecologically healthy, including:

Entire trail crews maintaining paths for hikers, skiers, and snowshoes
Rangers welcoming visitors to National Parks
Recreation technicians with the thankless task of cleaning outhouses
Plow drivers clearing roads and parking lots
Field crews maintaining SNOTEL sites and weather stations
Weed control specialists protecting ecosystems
Many, many other “mission-critical” positions

Many of those fired were also trained wildland firefighters, essential to staffing up “Type 2” fire crews in the heat of fire season. In many cases, now-fired employees lived in agency housing and have now lost their homes in addition to their income and other benefits. And, in many cases these were people who’d worked for the government for years, sometimes even decades, but were within their probationary period due to a change in status from a seasonal to permanent employee, a promotion, or taking a new job at a different agency.

Why were they fired?

Rather than thoughtfully considering how to achieve their goal of making the government run more efficiently, the White House chose to target probationary employees because it’s easy to fire them without justification and was an easy way to shrink the federal workforce.

Thus, rather than actually identifying, much less solving, any problems or inefficiencies within the federal workforce, these mass layoffs destabilized land management agencies, wasted millions in taxpayer dollars, and left public lands severely understaffed.

While some layoffs have been reversed due to Congressional pressure on the White House and impacts to public lands are getting a lot of news, we need to keep fighting. We need to keep the pressure on Congress to reclaim its role as a check on the Executive Branch, its role in determining how our tax dollars are spent, and get lawmakers to stand up for public lands by demanding that all of the employees who care for these lands be reinstated.

Historical Context: A Decade-Long Decline in Public Land Staffing

Even before these layoffs, land management agencies were severely underfunded and understaffed. Over the last ten years, staffing at land management agencies has steadily declined even as visitation has increased.

Since 2010, the Park Service has seen a 20% reduction in full-time staff, despite a 16% increase in visitation during the same period. More than 1,000 Park Service employees were fired on Valentines Day. The effects of this were felt immediately. For example, cars backed up for an hour and a half to enter Grand Canyon National Park over President’s Day weekend because four of the Park Rangers who work the entrance were terminated.

The Forest Service was already grappling with significant budget shortfalls for years and already faced staffing shortages this year due to the agency’s hiring freeze on seasonal employees implemented in October. The Forest Service was hit particularly hard by the February layoffs because the agency recently converted many longtime seasonal employees into permanent positions. Because most Forest Service recreation staff work seasonally and were already off the table for this year or were recently converted to permanent employees and lost their jobs on Valentines Day, the layoffs decimated Forest Service recreation program. Similar scenarios played out across the agency’s weed control, research, and restoration programs.

Where does this mean for public lands?

The full extent of the recent layoffs is still coming into focus—because the termination notices came from the White House the agencies themselves are still learning the extent of jobs lost. And, it’s widely understood that more layoffs are coming, leaving federal employees walking on eggshells, unsure of whether they will have a job from one day to the next.

People will continue to flock to and recreate on public lands, but with limited staff to maintain recreation infrastructure or manage visitor impacts we will see:

Outhouses filled and locked
Toilet paper “flowers” blossoming across the landscape
Trash pile up within and beyond campfire rings
Impassable trails
Escaped campfires growing into wildfires
Infrastructure fall even further into disrepair
Long-term impacts to ecological health
Significant setbacks in scientific research

Nonprofits and the volunteers that they recruit have long been critical partners for public land agencies, but the non-profit community cannot fill the void left by a hollowed-out federal workforce. For one, volunteers are no substitute for professional crews. Second, much of the funding to support these stewardship and partnership programs was frozen or rescinded by the Trump Administration, forcing nonprofits to lay off or not hire the staff that would normally support public land agencies.

Setting the Stage for Public Land Sell-offs

To be clear, in addition to breaking the government, the ultimate goal of these actions is to sell off our public lands. Shrinking the workforce and leaving the public land agencies unable to meet their missions provides fodder for anti-public lands voices who argue that public lands would be better managed if transferred to the states or even sold to the private sector.

As we talked about ad nauseum during the first Trump administration, state lands are managed for profit, not public use, and states lack the resources to manage the vast federal land base. Thus, transferring federal public lands to the states is a quick stop on the road to privatization.

Help Defend Public Lands

Without adequate staffing and resources, our experiences outside, wild winters, and the outdoor recreation economy will suffer. Congress and the Administration must take quick action to protect the workforce that keeps our public lands safe, accessible, and well cared for.

Using the form below, please write to your lawmakers right now. It’s quick and easy to ask them to push back against cuts to land management agencies and demand that our public land stewards be reinstated!

Weak Winter or Feeling Snow-ptimistic? Seasonal Predictions from SnowSchool

Weak Winter or Feeling Snow-ptimistic? Seasonal Predictions from SnowSchool

Whatever amount of snowfall Old Man Winter (or in this case La Niña) decides to bring forth this season, we are keeping our mittens crossed for deep snow!

It’s the early snow season, and we here at Winter Wildlands Alliance and SnowSchool have been getting a lot of questions about what our predictions are for the winter’s snowfall. When you are a winter-focused organization it naturally means you have special insight into the happenings of one of the most powerful, yet elusive, forces of nature on the planet. But it also tends to mean that, at least in the eyes of the general public, you are partially responsible for winter weather. So whatever amount of snowfall Old Man Winter (or in this case La Niña) decides to bring forth this season, we at WWA are simultaneously preparing to raise our frost-covered mittens in wintry triumph and/or apologize in slush-induced shame.

With the current NOAA chatter leaning toward the emergence of a “weak La Niña” pattern, it might seem like science is suggesting we should mostly plan on the latter scenario. But sit tight Snow White! More than one interpretation is possible…

What is a “weak La Niña” winter?

First off, in quick review, La Niña describes the global weather pattern that follows when ocean temps in the equatorial Pacific are cooler than average. This is the opposite of El Niño, which happens when ocean temps are warmer than average. During a typical La Niña winter in North America, the polar jet stream blasts across the northern United States bringing cold air and precipitation, while the southern United States is drier and warmer than average.

While last winter in North America saw an El Niño pattern, the previous three were La Niña events (read more about the rare Triple Dip La Niña here).

A “weak La Niña” occurs when Pacific ocean temps are only mildly cooler than normal, between -0.9° and -0.5°, compared to strong La Niña events (-1.5°C). These events typically form later in the fall and may fade by the end of winter, unlike stronger La Niña patterns, which can last well into the calendar year. For this season, the forecasted mild La Niña might signal a wetter winter in northern regions and a drier, warmer season in the southern U.S.

A big positive of this forecast for a mild La Niña is that our friends in the Great Lakes region can look forward to the end of their drought! But the glass-is-half-empty snow prediction would suggest a dry and warm winter in the southern United States and a slightly wetter than average winter up north. Ho-hum.

Snow Predictions from SnowSchool’s Favorite Snow Scientists:

Here at WWA we keep tabs on our favorite snow scientists—the experts who’ve helped us create hands-on snow science learning experiences for over 500,000 SnowSchool kids, especially when they make us smile with predictions about an impending big snow year! Here is what they are predicting for this season:

Ron Abramovich, retired head of the Idaho NRCS Snow Survey program, sees this year’s predictions in a multi-year context. “Strong or weak La Niña, it doesn’t really matter for years following a strong El Niño like last year. Years that follow seem to have a lot of energy to release,” says Abramovich.
Hans-Peter Marshall of NASA SnowEx program and the BSU CryoGARS group agrees, saying, “I’m going with Ron Abramovich… it might be most similar to 2017—hoping for a big year!”

“Nothing can be guaranteed,” Abramovich elaborated, “but with wild weather around us, there is no reason not to expect the extreme and wild weather to continue. We are not living in the calm and quiet doldrum years like the early 2000s. Pete Parsons from Oregon Department of Forestry takes an analytical approach, looking at past years with similar Pacific Ocean and atmospheric conditions. His analog years are 1967, 1993, and 2017—all of which brought near-normal to above-average snow years in central Idaho, with 2017 being a huge winter with 45 Atmospheric Rivers hitting the West coast.”

NRCS Snow and Water Interactive Map!

A fun experiment is to grab those years that match current conditions and plug them into the NRCS Interactive SNOTEL Map. For example, 2017 was relatively slow to start but really started to snowball mid winter. By April 1st you can see on the NRCS SNOTEL map (above) that almost every river basin across the western US was at or above the median historical snowpack level. April 1 is the date snow hydrologists have historically used to measure a season’s cumulative snowpack. And above average snowpack levels in many western watersheds were also observed for April 1st in 1993 and 1967. So bring on the snow!

It’s important to clarify that not all snow researchers in all locations are anticipating an enormous snow year.

Longtime SnowSchool collaborator Meghan Collins of the NASA-funded Mountain Rain or Snow citizen science project was inclined to stick with the NOAA forecast for modestly above average precipitation in the northern regions. “NOAA is my go-to” Collin said, “Their seasonal forecasts share the probability of snowfalls above or below average over the next several months, but the technology isn’t advanced enough to predict just how much we’ll receive. We’ll just have to wait for the near-term forecasts each week!”

And in California’s Sierra Nevada, our friend Ned Bair, climate scientist with Leidos and UC Santa Barbara snow researcher, would rather wait until April for this game. That not being an option, he responded: “For the Sierra, I think drier than normal but that’s just based on having one huge (2023) and one normal (2024) year in a row. Zero scientific evidence.”

Data from NRCS SNOTEL

David Foster-Hill of Community Snow Observations (a citizen science project focused on backcountry snowpack depth) weighed in with a prediction for his home range in Central Oregon. After running an analysis of his local Mt Hood SNOTEL station data (left) comparing El Niño to La Niña winters, he pointed out that most La Niña years are above the median snowpack. “Sure there is plenty of variability… but on average La Niñas are good to us…. Do I feel good about the ski season? I have already waxed my skis, if that is any indicator.”

In summary, it is still early to tell just how snowy this winter will be, but the signs are leaning toward at least a slightly above-average season in some areas. Whether you’re feeling “snow-ptimistic” or cautious, get ready to embrace whatever Old Man Winter brings our way!

What are your predictions for this season? Let us know, and let’s hope for deep snow!

Early Thoughts On the Challenges Ahead

Early Thoughts On the Challenges Ahead

A letter from Winter Wildlands Alliance’s Executive Director, David Page.

Photo by Hendrik Morkel

(November 6, 2024)

Before I heed the resounding online chorus telling me I should drop everything and get outside for a hike in the woods and the early winter sunshine with my dog—thank you Connor Ryan, Mike Fiebig, Pattiegonia, et al.—I wanted to share some preliminary thoughts on what the future is likely to hold, starting as early as January 20 with a new federal administration in Washington DC.

Winter Wildlands Alliance, our national grassroots network, and the wild places and experiences we all work together to protect will no doubt face many of the same challenges we dealt with between 2016 and 2020. However this time, there will be fewer legal and regulatory guardrails, fewer people within the administration who have the courage to push back against harmful and inequitable policies, fewer people with experience and expertise in positions of agency leadership, a United States Senate even less friendly to the interests of the American public, and a more seasoned, more cynical executive branch that is even more beholden to corporate and special interests. We’ll see what happens with the lower chamber but that doesn’t look great either.

Here’s What’s at Stake:

Looking ahead, using Project 2025 and the America First Policy Institute’s agenda as not-too-hazy crystal balls, we expect:

Significant increases in timber activity on United States Forest Service lands, including rolling back protections for roadless lands and old-growth forests
Significant increases in mining and fossil fuels permitting and development, including approval of development projects in the Alaskan arctic.
Restructuring or abolishment of governmental agencies and departments that work to manage our public lands, wildlife and environmental resources.
Reversal of recent environmental wins that protected critical landscapes and watersheds across the U.S., including the Ambler, Thompson Divide, and Boundary Waters decisions.
Elimination of the latest hard-won National Environmental Policy Act Rule.
Attacks on/efforts to revise other environmental laws, specifically: the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Energy Policy Conservation Act and the Endangered Species Act.
The vacating of the America the Beautiful (30×30) order and general rollback of efforts to improve climate resilience and protect federal lands and waters.
Limitations on how Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) resources can be spent to acquire new federal lands.
Review and likely downsizing of new national monuments with a particular focus on Camp Hale and Cascade-Siskiyou National Monuments.
Efforts to repeal the Antiquities Act.
Delisting of grizzly bears and gray wolves across the lower 48, which could lead to the extinction of keystone species.
Downsizing the office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (targeting climate scientists).
Commercialization of weather technologies, affecting climate research and avalanche forecasting.

Given all of this, our mission to protect wild and endangered snowscapes, to improve climate resilience on public lands, to get kids into the outdoors, and to ensure equitable access to quality human-powered winter recreation has never been more vital, nor your support more essential.

How You Can Help Right Now:

The health and resilience of our ecosystems and the right of every American to access quality outdoor recreation are not—or certainly should not be—partisan issues. For 25 years, through both Democratic and Republican administrations, Winter Wildlands Alliance and our nationwide community of members, ambassadors, SnowSchool sites and grassroots groups have fought to protect the wild places and experiences we all care most about.

Today, we commit to continuing that work for the next four years—and beyond. The extent to which we are successful will depend in large part on the strength and active engagement of our Alliance. And that starts with you. Please consider committing to this work with us today by:

Becoming a member of Winter Wildlands Alliance: if we show up with full strength-in-numbers, assaults on public lands and climate resilience will not fly!
Make a donation to Winter Wildlands Alliance: your support will help ensure that we are able to adapt and respond quickly to policy changes and new efforts to undermine public lands.
Volunteer at a SnowSchool site – help educate and build appreciation for our wild snowscapes in the next generation.
Volunteer as a Winter Ambassador – help collect winter recreation data to inform better management of public snowscapes.

Moose Mountain Saved!

Lutsen Permit Denied: Moose Mountain Saved!

The public lands on Moose Mountain—home to the best backcountry skiing in Minnesota—will remain wild.

August 25, 2023

After 7 years of advocacy and engagement by Winter Wildlands Alliance, Superior Highland Backcountry, and many others, the Superior National Forest in Minnesota announced that it would be denying Lutsen Mountains Resort’s proposal to expand its commercial operations onto the Superior National Forest.

The public lands on Moose Mountain—home to the best backcountry skiing in Minnesota—will remain wild.

What are the details?

In his decision to deny the proposed expansion, Superior Forest Supervisor Tom Hall recognized that the development would displace backcountry skiers from one of the most prime and accessible backcountry ski areas on the North Shore of Lake Superior and negatively impact the long-established Superior Hiking Trail.

He also cited significant concerns from and impacts to local Tribes who would have lost opportunities for hunting, fishing, and gathering native plants. The expansion would have also further eroded tribal access to ceded territory.

Significant effects on a variety of natural resources including white cedar and sugar maple forests, hydrology, and water quality were additional reasons the Forest Service chose to deny the ski resort expansion.

How did this all start?

We, and the rest of the public, first became aware of Lutsen Mountains’ proposed expansion in 2016 when the resort hosted an open house to pitch their proposal. Since then, local backcountry skiers organized into our first Midwestern grassroots group—Superior Highland Backcountry—and we worked together to bring national attention to the task of saving Moose Mountain from resort development.

If you watched the 16th annual Backcountry Film Festival season during the winter of 2020-2021, you got a taste of skiing the old growth hardwood forests on Moose Mountain in Last Call for Moose Mountain (watch it again here!).

Throughout the NEPA process, hundreds of backcountry skiers from Minnesota and across the country submitted comments to the Superior National Forest opposing the expansion and calling on the Forest Service to keep Moose Mountain as it is today—wild and undeveloped.

What’s next?

There’s still one more step in the process before this decision is final – anybody who has previously participated in the NEPA process has until October 10, 2023 to file an objection. This doesn’t mean the decision will change, especially as the Forest Supervisor has based his decision on multiple well-supported points.

Thank you to everybody who spoke up to protect this unique backcountry gem! Your voice, and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)’s requirement that public engagement be a mandatory part of planning for any proposed development on public lands, makes a difference.
