特朗普政府正将美国林业局总部搬出华盛顿，迁至犹他州盐湖城，此举是联邦机构向其监管区域搬迁、缩小首都政府规模的整体计划的一部分。
美国农业部周二宣布了这一搬迁决定，并表示将对该机构进行全面重组，将领导层和职权重新分配至全美各地。官员们称，此举将改善决策效率、削减成本并加强招聘工作。
此次调整标志着林业局运作方式的重大结构性变革，将最高领导层和核心职能迁至全国大部分国有林地所在、野火风险和土地管理需求最为集中的西部各州。
“特朗普总统一直致力于让我们的政府运作回归常识。将林业局迁至我们所管理的森林附近，是一项必要举措，既能改善我们管理森林的核心使命，又能节省纳税人资金并促进员工招聘，”农业部长布鲁克·罗林斯在宣布该举措的声明中说道。

“在盐湖城设立西部总部，并简化林业局的组织架构，将使局长和业务主管更贴近我们所管理的土地以及依赖这些土地的民众。”
根据该计划，该机构将采用基于州级的架构，旨在将更多权力从华盛顿下放至一线。
将有15名州级主管负责全美各地的运营，管理森林监督员、设定工作优先级，并与州、部落和地方合作伙伴协调。每个办事处将由负责沟通、立法事务和政府间工作的小型团队提供支持。

此次重组将取消该机构的区域办事处体系，所有区域办事处将在过渡期间关闭。许多行政职能将转移至全美各地的服务中心，而官员表示，包括野火应对在内的一线运营将保持不变。这些改革预计将在未来一年内逐步推行。
此次搬迁是特朗普政府推动部分联邦政府机构迁出华盛顿整体计划的延续，包括其第一任期内将土地管理局总部迁至科罗拉多州，以及将农业部部分关键研究机构迁至堪萨斯城。
政府将这些举措描述为一项节约成本的计划，旨在分散政府权力、将权力从华盛顿转移出去，并使决策更贴近实地运营。

尽管此前有一些高调的搬迁计划未能实现，例如此前讨论过的将联邦调查局总部迁出华盛顿的计划，但此次搬迁仍在推进。
犹他州州长斯宾塞·考克斯称赞此次搬迁是“犹他州和西部的重大胜利”。

“近90%的林业局土地位于密西西比河以西，因此将领导层迁至其所管理的土地附近是合理之举，”考克斯说道。
“这并非象征性举措。这意味着实地决策将更加高效、迅速。从徒步旅行者、露营者到牧场主和木材生产商，所有依赖我们公共土地的人都将从这一变革中受益。从区域模式转向更侧重于州级的模式，将强化联邦制，帮助林业局更有效地履行职责。”

Trump admin moves Forest Service HQ to Utah in latest DC relocation push
April 1, 2026 10:46am EDT / Fox News
The Trump administration is moving the Forest Service’s headquarters out of Washington and into Salt Lake City, Utah, as part of a broader push to shift federal agencies closer to the regions they oversee and reduce the footprint of government in the nation’s capital.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the move Tuesday and said it will begin a sweeping restructuring of the agency, relocating leadership and redistributing authority across the country in an effort officials say will improve decision-making, cut costs and strengthen hiring.
The shift represents a significant structural change to how the Forest Service operates, moving top leadership and key functions closer to the western states where the majority of national forest land is located and where wildfire risk and land management demands are most concentrated.
“President Trump has made it a priority to return common sense to the way our government works. Moving the Forest Service closer to the forests we manage is an essential action that will improve our core mission of managing our forests while saving taxpayer dollars and boosting employee recruitment,” Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said in a statement announcing the move.

“Establishing a western headquarters in Salt Lake City and streamlining how the Forest Service is organized will position the Chief and operational leaders closer to the landscapes we manage and the people who depend on them.”
Under the plan, the agency will adopt a state-based structure designed to push more authority out of Washington and into the field.
Fifteen state directors will oversee operations nationwide, managing forest supervisors, setting priorities and coordinating with state, tribal and local partners. Each office will be supported by small teams handling communications, legislative affairs and intergovernmental work.

The restructuring will eliminate the agency’s regional office system, with all regional offices set to close as part of the transition. Many administrative functions will shift to service centers across the country, while officials said frontline operations, including wildfire response, will remain unchanged. The changes are expected to roll out over the coming year.
The relocation builds on a broader effort by the Trump administration to move parts of the federal government outside Washington, including the relocation of the Bureau of Land Management’s headquarters to Colorado during his first term and the transfer of key USDA research agencies to Kansas City.
The administration has framed the moves as a cost-saving push to decentralize government, shift power out of Washington and bring decision-making closer to on-the-ground operations.

The push comes despite some high-profile proposals that have not materialized, including earlier discussions about moving the FBI headquarters out of Washington.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox hailed the relocation as a “big win for Utah and the West.”

“Nearly 90% of Forest Service lands are west of the Mississippi, so putting leadership closer to the lands they manage just makes sense,” Cox said.
“This isn’t symbolic. It means better, faster decisions on the ground. Everyone who depends on our public lands, from hikers and campers to ranchers and timber producers, will benefit from this change. Moving away from a regional model to a more state-focused approach strengthens federalism and helps the Forest Service do its job more effectively.”
