CONWAY — U.S. Forest Service employees in the White Mountain National Forest are among the 3,400 recent hires in national forests throughout the country who are being terminated along with about 1,000 National Park Service workers under President Donald Trump’s push to cut federal spending, according to a report issued by the forest last Friday.

The 11 targeted staffers are all in their probationary employment periods, which includes anyone hired less than a year ago, according to a local WMNF source who asked not to be identified.
