Washington, D.C. \u2013 Senate Interior-Environment Appropriations Subcommittee Ranking Member Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Senate Appropriations Committee Vice Chair Patty Murray (D-WA), Senate Energy and Natural Resources National Parks Subcommittee Ranking Member <\/s>Senator Angus King (I-ME), and Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member Martin Heinrich (D-NM) urged newly confirmed U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to immediately take action to resolve looming staffing shortages at the National Park Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter follows President Trump\u2019s hiring freeze, his cancellation of thousands of job offers for seasonal National Park Service employees, and his buyout offers made without clear legal authority. These actions pave the way for a damaging loss of staff at national parks across the nation in the coming summer months and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWithout seasonal staff during this peak season, visitor centers may close, bathrooms will be filthy, campgrounds may close, guided tours will be cut back or altogether cancelled, emergency response times will drop, and visitor services like safety advice, trail recommendations, and interpretation will be unavailable,\u201describieron los senadores.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe are also alarmed that the administration\u2019s offer of deferred resignation and voluntary early retirement, made without clear legal authority, as well as open threats about future terminations will lead to a damaging loss of full-time staff at the National Park Service, which is already operating well below prior staffing levels despite significant increases in visitation,\u201d continuaron los senadores.<\/strong> \u201cAs a result of onerous budget caps during the 2010s, the National Park Service lost 15% of its staff while park visitation also increased by 15%. If a significant number of National Park Service employees take one of the offers \u2013 or further terminations are made \u2013 park staffing will be in chaos.  Not only does this threaten the full suite of visitor services, but could close entire parks altogether.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

The Senators concluded<\/strong>, \u201cAmericans showing up to national parks this summer and for years to come don\u2019t deserve to have their vacations ruined by a completely preventable \u2013 and completely irresponsible \u2013 staffing shortage. And local economies don\u2019t deserve to have their livelihoods destroyed for political gain. We urge your cooperation in protecting national parks for the enjoyment of everyone by ensuring National Park Service staffing meets the needs of the 433 national park units in all 50 states.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Merkley, Murray, King, and Heinrich, the letter is signed by U.S. Senators Jon Ossoff (D-GA), John Fetterman (D-PA), Mark Warner (D-VA), Jack Reed (D-RI), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Edward J.

Dear Secretary Burgum:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We urge you to immediately reissue seasonal employment offers for the National Park Service, officially rescind damaging and short-sighted deferred resignation and early retirement offers, and to instead work to safeguard, grow, and shape the National Park Service workforce to meet the needs of our national parks and their visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are alarmed that the National Park Service revoked employment offers for seasonal staff for the upcoming summer season. Incoming seasonal staff \u2013 whose work is critical to managing the influx of visitors during the summer \u201cpeak season\u201d \u2013 had offers in their hands that were yanked away just days after the inauguration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National Park Service rangers carry out a wide array of functions critical to protecting natural resources, keeping visitors safe, providing for recreation, and creating an inspiring and educational experience for visitors. National Park units experience a summer surge in visitation that peaks in July, and the Service hires more than 6,000 seasonal employees to manage that extra work. Without seasonal staff during this peak season, visitor centers may close, bathrooms will be filthy, campgrounds may close, guided tours will be cut back or altogether cancelled, emergency response times will drop, and visitor services like safety advice, trail recommendations, and interpretation will be unavailable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are also alarmed that the administration\u2019s offer of deferred resignation and voluntary early retirement, made without clear legal authority, as well as open threats about future terminations will lead to a damaging loss of full-time staff at the National Park Service, which is already operating well below prior staffing levels despite significant increases in visitation. As a result of onerous budget caps during the 2010s, the National Park Service lost 15% of its staff while park visitation also increased by 15%. If a significant number of National Park Service employees take one of the offers \u2013 or further terminations are made \u2013 park staffing will be in chaos.  Not only does this threaten the full suite of visitor services, but could close entire parks altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gutting staffing at national park units will devastate local \u201cgateway\u201d communities where parks generate significant economic activity \u2013 from hotels to restaurants to stores to outfitters. In 2023, an estimated 325 million park visitors spent an estimated $26.4 billion in local gateway regions, supporting an estimated 415,000 jobs and $55.6 billion in total economic output in the national economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Americans showing up to national parks this summer and for years to come don\u2019t deserve to have their vacations ruined by a completely preventable \u2013 and completely irresponsible \u2013 staffing shortage. And local economies don\u2019t deserve to have their livelihoods destroyed for political gain. We urge your cooperation in protecting national parks for the enjoyment of everyone by ensuring National Park Service staffing meets the needs of the 433 national park units in all 50 states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
