I‘m happy we have a #ranttime tag now!
The NPS has existed for more than 150 years and includes sites in all parts of the country. From Guam to Maine, from Alaska to Puerto Rico, and everywhere in between. Many of the monuments you think of in Washington, such as the Lincoln Memorial, are NPS properties.
What‘s happening to our parks is shameful. The photo is from Yosemite. I hope it‘s not trashed by the time I get to visit someday.
Itchyfeetreader Loved Yosemite, like so many of the other parks I feel fortunate to have visited. I worry for their future 5d

kspenmoll Too horrid. 💔 5d
Julsmarshall It is unbelievable. They are attacking everything, everywhere, all at once so that we feel powerless. And, honestly, I do. I‘m so worried that everything that makes America special will be gone but I keep calling my representatives, feels like the only power I have. 5d
Susanita @Julsmarshall I know how you feel. The relentlessness is definitely intentional. Calling is good. Listen to your podcasts of choice, such as Daily Beans, for other ideas. @TheBookHippie has shared some good resources too. 5d
TheBookHippie Breaks my heart. Cruelty is the point … 5d
ncsufoxes The nationalparkdiaries on IG has a list of all the positions that have been lost at all the parks. I need to renew our National Park pass. Even though they are going to be short staffed people need to show up & show their support. The ultimate plan is to show they are not being used so they can close them & then develop them. So support your parks, bring a trash bag & clean up after yourself & others. 4d
ncsufoxes My son is a junior studying wildlife biology & conservation. This is so upsetting & devastating to him. We‘ve taken him to NPs since he was little, which developed his love of the parks. He loves what he does but some days he‘s seeing his livelihood & future career options being decimated. He knows that his work will be highly important in the future but he‘s so frustrated & exhausted. It‘s been demoralizing for him & his professors. 4d
Susanita @ncsufoxes I‘m sorry for your son. It‘s not just current jobs but also future jobs that are being lost, but they don‘t care. My niece graduated from college in December, and a big chunk of opportunities has been ripped away. 4d
Julsmarshall Good suggestions, @Susanita Trying to hang in there. Will make a plan to visit a park, @ncsufoxes you are absolutely right. 3d
