It doesn't just affect employees.

Here's the note to volunteers for USFS:

To all DW Volunteers

Re: Potential Government Shutdown and our activities

USFS management has requested that I notify all DW Volunteers of the following policy in the event of a "government shutdown" starting tomorrow, October 1, 2025.

"All USFS Volunteer Activities are suspended until further notice."

That means a lot of work won't get done until spring...

Very sad.
