The Federal agencies are terrible at running public lands compared to the states. Forest management is a good example. This would eliminate a large chunk of the USDA, the Dept of the Interior, BLM, EPA, and prevent another politicization for the US Parks Dept. (Like Obama did during the government budget negotiations over the sequester. Turning busloads of tourists away from the Grand Canyon, etc)
Do the same with Army Corps of Engineers projects.
Those states then have a resource for additional revenues, requiring less from Federal Taxpayers.
Turn over all property, plant and equipment assets of these agencies that are affiliated with and used to manage these areas.
Federal employees can apply for jobs with the states, retire, or seek employment elsewhere.
