In the FEED safety realm, our State Feed inspection Service contracts to do the Federal inspection for FDA to insure compliance with Safety standards under the Food Safety Modernization Act. I mention this because it is a good example of an state agency who has a relationship on the Localish level doing what is a national mandate. I could see the value of the state forestry agency doing something similar in Western Montana.
On the West coast California Department of Forestry is one of the most active Wildfire agencies around , so they are regarded in a better light than a Federal force might be. Usually they are local (at least full time staff lives in the community) and they work with private lands in managing their timber resource as well as water and soil health.
