Shaheen, Hassan Host Roundtable Discussion on Trump Administration’s Decision to Reorganize the U.S. Forest Service, Close Facilities at Bartlett Experimental Forest

"Critical research at Bartlett Experimental Forest has informed management of northern hardwood forests in New England for nearly a century. The decision by the Trump Administration to close research facilities at Bartlett, undermines long-running research that serves communities across the region and bolsters local economies," said Senator Jeanne Shaheen. "I thank everyone who joined us today to provide further insight on how the Department of Agriculture's reorganization will impact forest health and Granite Staters that rely on the timber, recreation and the clean air and water these forests provide."
