Welcome back to another episode of Cracking the Surface. This week we switch gears to a more serious topic: the layoffs of thousands of our National Park Service and National Forest Service employees. Here is the link to the NYT article: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/climate/trump-layoffs-park-and-forest-service-workers.html# After this, I talk about my personal experience interning for the National Forest Service in college. Thanks for listening and see you next week!
