The Department of Agriculture is moving the U.S. Forest Service‘s headquarters to Salt Lake City in an effort to bring the agency closer to the nation’s forests.

As part of the restructuring, the agency will also shut down over 50 research and development facilities in over 30 states, consolidating into a single central Forest Service research organization in Fort Collins, Colorado.
