Shutdown didn't stop forestry work
Los Angeles Times
|November 19, 2025
During the government shutdown, the U.S. Forest Service completed prescribed burns on more than 127,000 acres, Forest Service Chief Tom Schultz announced in an internal memo Nov. 14 welcoming back furloughed employees.
During the same time frame in 2023 and 2024, the Forest Service completed a comparable amount of work, indicating that the agency managed to take advantage of prime weather for burns even with a reduced workforce.
"Despite the disruption, we accomplished a great deal together," said the memo, first reported by the Hotshot Wake Up and verified by The Times. "We advanced timber sales that strengthen local economies, kept recreation sites open and safe for public enjoyment, and carried out critical wildfire response and active management work."
By comparison, the Forest Service completed about 200,000 acres of prescribed burns in 2023 from Oct. 1 through Nov. 12 — the same span as the 2025 shutdown — and in 2024, it burned roughly 90,000 acres during that time frame, according to a Forest Service database that tracks hazardous fuel treatment work.
