I was thrilled to hear the news that Tom Schultz would be the 21st Chief of the Forest Service. With over 25 years of land management experience, I am confident that Tom Schultz is the right person for the job!
Enhancing forest health and improving management is critical for wildfire suppression efforts and protecting communities and forests. As Chairman of the House Interior and Environment Appropriations Subcommittee, which oversees funding for the Forest Service, I look forward to working together on these efforts.
