Bosworth announces retirement

Editor in ChiefForest Service Chief Dale Bosworth announced today that he will retire within a few weeks from the post he has occupied for six years. See the story in the Salt Lake Tribune.
In an interview with HCN this summer, Bosworth insisted that “the energy industry is not running the Forest Service.” The evidence hasn’t always backed up this claim. HCN also took a look at Bosworth at the beginning of his tenure.
Bosworth’s announcement comes just weeks after BLM Director Kathleen Clarke — another appointee loved by the energy industry — stepped down from her post.
