Newly confirmed U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins appointed Tom Schultz as the 21st Chief of the Forest Service.
In a statement, Rollins expressed her certainty with this pick:
“Tom is the right person to lead the Forest Service right now, and I know he will fight every day to restore America’s national forest.”
Schultz is taking the helm from Chief Randy Moore, who recently announced his retirement.
Schultz expressed his gratitude for the role:
“I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be the next Chief of the Forest Service. I will work tirelessly to further support and protect our rural communities.”
Schultz previously served as VP of Resource and Government Affairs at Idaho Forest Group. He is also a former U.S. Air Force Officer and was Director of the Idaho Department of Lands.
The USDA is moving to close the farm trade gap through promotion, missions, and stronger export financing.
