USDA to move Forest Service Headquarters to Salt Lake City

In a landmark shift for federal land management, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced Tuesday that the Forest Service will move its national headquarters from Washington, D.C., to Salt Lake City, Utah.

"Moving the Forest Service closer to the forests we manage is an essential action that will improve our core mission while saving taxpayer dollars and boosting employee recruitment," Rollins said.
