US Federal Government

The United States Federal Government is represented by a collection of agencies. On the platform we generally organize wiki pages at the Department or Service level choosing a scale that best describes a coheret body of programs. Ongoing programs are generally described as Efforts, and often include an effort category describing purpose. As with the agencies of the State of Washington or Canadian conterparts, The US Federal government tends to control the operating environment of ecosystem work by controlling funding and regulation as well as fielding technical staff. Except where agencies serve as land managers (for example US Forest Service, or refuges of the US Fish and Wildlife Service) agencies are somewhat disconnected from Place and with mroe generalized authorities based in The Law.
