That's fucked up by itself. They're making the public comment process even more of a mockery than it already is.
They're doing the same to the NPS offices as well. Pretty much the entire science wings of the regional offices have been cut down significantly.
I know many don't understand why there are 6 biologists stationed at a regional office, but many parks only have 1-3 on staff with the smallest parks having none. Being able to send a team of 6 to parks a few weeks at a time to do projects is way more efficient than hiring full staffs at the parks.
Unfortunately they are not even hiring these positions at parks, just leaving them unfilled and duties uncompleted. It's bad
...and yet the center and conservative wing of the US is perfectly fine to sit there and say "well, we should at least try it we can always go back!" while foundations that cannot be replaced are demolished.
spits on this country, fuck this place, I am ashamed to be born here.
