Tammy Angel will take over as acting regional forester on Jan. 24. She previously served as deputy regional forester for the region and has a background with US Fish and Wildlife and the National Park Service.
The acting regional forester oversees 2,000 employees and 22 million acres of national forests and grasslands in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming in partnership with other agencies and forty-eight affiliated tribes.
