Defending America’s national parks from Trump’s attacks. Fighting privatization, cuts, and corruption to protect our public lands. #SaveOurParks
“Parks don’t run themselves.”

Without rangers, Yosemite, Everglades, Rocky Mountain & more face vandalism, overflowing waste, and public safety crises.

Donald Trump and Doug Burgum are walking away from their duty to protect our parks.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” slashed $267 M from the Park Service and ordered a workforce shrink. Since January, the NPS has lost nearly 1/4 of its permanent staff—while visitation hit a record 331 M in 2024.

Cuts + hiring freeze = a slow‑motion crisis. #SaveOurParks

Staffing shortages hit 90 national parks. CBS reports that nearly 70 parks have reduced hours or services, 22 postponed maintenance and 11 delayed openings due to departures, cuts and a hiring freeze. Trump’s promise to hire 8,000 seasonal workers? Only half showed up by July.

Being a park ranger means sacrifice. Lydia worked six months at Badlands and moved between parks in winter, hoping for a permanent role. Trump and Burgum’s layoffs shattered that dream and ripped experienced rangers away from the places they love.

A new National Parks Conservation Association report warns that our parks are at a breaking point: staff overwhelmed, facilities deteriorating, and visitors left without basic services. The Park Service has lost 24% of its staff since Trump took office—thanks to Burgum’s buyout-driven downsizing.
