Wasting NO time now that the Great American Outdoors Act has been signed by President Trump, Interior Secretary David Bernhardt has created the a coordination and implementation task force to reconnoiter the National Park System, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lands and create a road map to “effectively, expeditiously, and successfully “ determine a priority punch list of projects that will maximize the billions of dollars set aside through the Great American Outdoors Act for tackling the backlog of repairs that have built up over the years of neglect from prior presidential administrations. They’ve been given two months to come up with a strategy to do this, per the Secretary’s Order (you can read it HERE).

Okay, it’s actually called the “Dam Fire.” And while wildfires are NEVER a laughing matter, the names they give some of them are kind of silly. (In case you didn’t know, most wildfires are named after their origin point – in this instance, that’d be near Morris Dam, San Gabriel Canyon).
This year marks the second year of National Forest Week, which is a week-long celebration of our national forest and grasslands. The program was started in 2019 by the National Forest Foundation, which is a congressionally chartered non-profit parter to the U.S. Forest Service. National Forest Week happens the second week in July every year.

The “sign” is an 8.5”x11” sheet of white paper printed with a inkjet printer and affixed with masking tape.
