The Future Of America's National Parks
People visited U.S. National Park sites a record 331 million times last year. Were you one of them?
If you were, and plan to visit any National Parks this year though, staff cuts might mean a different kind of experience.
At the direction of Elon Musk's DOGE entity, the Department of the Interior fired around 1,000 probationary National Park Service employees in February.
That has current and former NPS employees feeling pessimistic about the future.
We discuss how these cuts will impact the future of America's National Parks.
