Senators Issue Dire Warning Over National Parks Cuts

Twenty-two democratic and independent U.S. senators sent a letter Feb. 7 to newly confirmed U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum imploring him to reconsider drastic measures taken by the Trump administration to reduce the workforce of the National Park Service, warning that the deep staffing cuts could force some national parks to close, according to a report by SFGate.com.

The letter comes on the heels of President Donald Trump’s Jan. 20 federal hiring freeze, which saw more than 2,000 job offers to seasonal Park Service employees rescinded. The administration has also offered early retirement and resignation options to millions of federal employees, including all of those who work for the park service.

“If a significant number of National Park Service employees take one of the offers – or further terminations are made – park staffing will be in chaos,” the senators wrote in the letter. “Not only does this threaten the full suite of visitor services, but could close entire parks altogether.”
