NEW reporting from @SFGate has revealed that a former investment banker with “scant background in conservation or land management” is now secretly running @NatlParkService and @USFWS, acting illegally without proper authorization from Interior Sec. Burgum.

Donald Trump, Doug Burgum, and their billionaire cronies are gutting America’s national parks and public lands. They’re slashing staff, raising fees, and handing public lands to corporate cronies.

This isn’t mismanagement. It’s sabotage. And we’re fighting back. #saveourparks

Summer is the height of the visitor season for the National Park Service. Nearly 332 million people visited NPS sites in 2024, a record that is likely to be broken this year. That surge in visitors continues despite staff and budget cuts imposed by the Trump administration, with no end in sight.

President Donald Trump's tax and spending law rescinded $267 million earmarked for park improvements. The White House has also proposed a further 38 percent budget cut next year.

PBS News Hour spoke to some advocates, who say the cuts are already impacting park operations, and @TheStephSy spoke to the National Parks Conservation Association's Theresa Pierno about the state of national parks.

This is what happens when policy puts profit and politics ahead of public lands.

We launched @SaveOurParksUSA to hold them accountable—and protect what belongs to all of us.

Donald Trump and billionaire Doug Burgum are dismantling America’s parks.

Their budget cuts, staffing reductions, and sell-off schemes are causing:

– Long lines
– Limited access
– Safety risks
– Poor visitor experiences
– And in some cases, real danger

Assateague Island has no lifeguards—just weeks after senators warned someone could drown.

Yellowstone is seeing record visitors, but doesn’t have enough rangers.

The Grand Canyon Lodge burned during peak season—while short-staffed.
