The National Forest Service (NFS) relies on volunteers and prisoners to a significant extent. In 2020, the NFS had over 200,000 volunteers contribute over 10 million hours of work. The NFS also has a program that allows prisoners to work on forest projects in exchange for time off their sentences. In 2020, the NFS had over 10,000 prisoners participate in this program.
A lot of right wing dolts like to bitch about the government and how inefficient it is. Of course just about any organization has flaws, but a good argument can be made the National Forest Service gets a good bang for the buck. The Kadizzle have been volunteering for the forest service for about ten years. Millions of dollars are saved by the Forest Service with volunteers.
The next time you hear and old Republican goat bitch about government waste, ask them when they last volunteered for anything. The goats will sit in the coffee shop and bitch, but will not take time to help, instead they turn on Fox News and let their heads spin.
