We, at Parks Project, stand with the Park Staff & Public Lands. 🌲 Thousands of National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service employees have been laid off due to federal budget cuts—meaning fewer rangers, neglected trails, overflowing trash, increased wildfire risks, and so much more. This isn’t just a staffing issue; it’s a crisis for our public lands. We, at Parks Project, do not stand with the decision to cut funding that protects the places we all love so heavily. For the last decade, we’ve worked side by side with park staff—seeing firsthand the impact of their work. These stewards keep our trails open, our habitats safe, and our parks maintained & accessible for all. Without them, the future of our public lands is at risk.
