Press Release: Wyden and Colleagues Urge Reinstatement of Women in Wildfire Bootcamps Amid Wildfire Crisis

None

Senator Ron Wyden and colleagues demand the reinstatement of the Women in Wildfire Bootcamps due to their importance in recruitment.

Quiver AI Summary

U.S. Senator Ron Wyden, alongside fellow members of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, has expressed concern over the Trump administration's termination of the Women in Wildfire (WIWF) Bootcamps program. They assert that this program was crucial for training women seeking careers in wildfire management, particularly in the face of increasing wildfires this year.

The senators noted that the WIWF Bootcamps, initiated in 2011, helped bolster recruitment of women within federal land management agencies, stating, "Eliminating a successful outreach program such as the WIWF Boot Camps unnecessarily limits recruitment." They emphasized the program's role in addressing staffing shortages as wildfire management becomes increasingly urgent.

Senator Catherine Cortez Masto led the effort to reinstate the program, supported by Senators from various states. The full text of their letter to relevant officials is available online.
