Post Carbon Fellow Gloria Flora was one of a group of local experts giving their advice to Federal Officials on how to better protect open lands and get people in to the great outdoors. A report of the meeting was posted in the Billings Gazette and the Helena Independent Record.
From the article:
Former Lewis and Clark National Forest Supervisor Gloria Flora urged officials to encourage their forest and park employees to get out from behind their computer tubes and into the public lands, to demonstrate the behaviors the president is calling for.“I was a Forest Service employee for 20 years, and the employees are spending about half the time they used to in the field,” Flora said. “And stop outsourcing. You’re putting in people who are not trained and with no career dedication that most federal employees have.”Flora and others also pleaded with the federal government for a more stable funding mechanism instead of relying on one-year appropriations.“People come up with multi-year plans, and I had to sit there like a fool saying I can fund you through September and then we are done. I can’t promise you anything. A lot of land managers feel that way,” she said.
