Normal... When I worked for them we had a huge budget cut at the time....was extremely hard to do anything. Ging to be worse we end up with the overhead people sitting in the office shuffling paper with nothing getting done I. The field. Conditions on the ground will deteriorate even more.
Donate and volunteer on trail maintenance crews. I do both. I'd prefer our taxes cover it and the government organize it, but since life isn't fair I choose a 501c that coordinates with the Forest Service (to some extent).
