My first job out of grad school was with @usfs.bsky.social. The people I worked for were extraordinary. Smart, hard working and dedicated to protecting our coastal environments. Places that happen to generate 100s of billions dollars and millions of jobs, amongst much more. #defendusfs

The guardians of the forest, its wildlife, and our planet’s future don’t back down easily. I do this for the children, the next wilderness explorers 🦌, while others fight for something even greater.

Please don’t be startled if you approach a gatehouse and a deer is working 🦌. We’ve had some budget cuts recently & they’ve agreed to 9am-5pm (with grazing time) in exchange for us leaving the space heaters on. Yes it may be far fetched and take longer, but they hoof-printed the employee agreement 🤷🏼‍♂️

We’ve been told to “deal with the woke bears.” Our Rangers kindly asked the bears to stop being bisexual, but one unfortunate event led to multiple lovers showing up and mauling Sr. Ranger Richard Girthbrooks, known by his code name “Hardwood”. Prayers for Hardwood’s speedy recovery 💚🌳

“What are we doing again?” “Birdwatching.” “How does this work?” “First, we look for a bird.” “And we eat it.” “No, we take a picture of it.” “Then we eat it?” “No, we write down the name of it.” “And then can we finally eat it?” “We don’t eat the bird, Gerald.” “This is stupid.”

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍂 This year, we’re thankful for: Hikers who don’t leave mystery leftovers on the trails. Campers who actually put out their fires and not just their vibes. That one guy who didn’t try to wrestle a moose this year. #Grateful #ForestFriends #LeaveNoCranberrySauceBehind
