Trump's national parks proposal: Cut $1 billion, transfer many sites to states

The 2026 White House budget proposal would slash park spending by $1 billion, transfer "many" sites to states

Personally I was hoping for an increase in the budget.

It’s not good for the parks, and I believe it’s not good for the nation.

When we put people who never use or visit national parks in charge of national parks, this is what happens. When people campaign on the issue of getting rid of federal managed lands, and win, this is what happens. They told us what they were going to do. It was not a secret. Disappointing yes. Surprising, no.

Very unfortunate times indeed. I fear irreversible damage is being done on many fronts.

Short sighted greed seems to be the theme. There are more of us who believe the parks are a treasure of a different kind.

Well Steve-just got my sweatshirt too (but it was green)! You old Marines, also have a latin moto that you once tried to live by that our present leaders seem to have never learned! Blue Sky is a good way to follow what others are thinking and/or doing about the changes we are living through right now! As an old fed. I also follow r/fednews; it's an unofficial site used by active feds to keep tract of what's going on in the various agencies and departments. Real scary and a almost daily picture the confusion and destruction of our Public Civil Service!

And also this devastating news:
House Republicans have approved an amendment that authorizes the sale of thousands of acres of federal public land in Nevada and Utah.

It’s all too much, time to go off grid camping while I can.

Fast Tracking Oil & Gas Drilling

The administration has accelerated oil and gas leasing in national park landscapes over the last three years. Without immediate action to counter this dramatic increase in potential development, this could soon be what’s left of our national parks.

it certainly is.

They campaign on the message that government doesn’t work/is broken. Then, they get elected and prove it. They’re for the constitution & states rights only when it fits their agenda. Kinda the same way they approach the Bible.

I am glad we can share important information, and thoughts, about the places we love and visit, our national and state lands. While I understand the concern the moderators might have, I want to thank them for 'allowing' this important information to be discussed and shared. These beautiful places we love are why we are all 'here'. WTW members are thoughtful, civil, and looks like we can all follow the 'be nice' rule even when we might be extremely scared and saddened with all the news about our public lands!

I am hopeful this notion will die in the Senate.
