It was just over a week ago, on Valentine's Day, that the Trump administration wiped 1,000 employees off the National Park Service staff without any apparent strategy other than that they were dispensable staff still on probation and so lacking any real protection for being fired without cause.
Those cuts swept across the 433 units of the National Park System, taking custodial workers, scientists, even lawyers. Today we're joined by one of the 1,000 who lost their jobs, Angela Moxley, who was just ten days shy of clearing probation when she lost her job at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park in West Virginia. Angela was a botanist, one of the many Park Service employees who you're not likely to encounter in a park, but as you'll hear, one whose job is just as vital as that of the park interpreter who takes you for a hike.
