The president’s skinny budget proposal explicitly calls for the Park Service to give up our smaller national park sites, which includes many of our nation’s historic sites. www.npca.org/articles/899...

The Senate must stop the House bill that threatens to irreparably change the National Park System as we know it. The bill eliminates IRA funding, further reduces NPS staff and accelerates energy development near public lands. Write your senator: www.npca.org/voteno

One thing I will miss about living here is the luxury of driving thru the gate at 545pm, knowing I can explore until dusk and then make my way back home. Yellowstone National Park was beautiful tonight.

3. You shall not starve what you're sworn to protect. Chronic underfunding is sabotage. It is a betrayal of our national duty to care for these lands. Public lands return 10 to 1 on investment, but even if they didn’t, protection isn't a business model. It's a responsibility.

In letter to staff, the new USFS Chief states the agency must "focus on swift & aggressive initial attack...and fully suppress small fires before they become large." This is exactly the *failed* wildfire policy that has gotten us into the current mess. What an idiot. www.fs.usda.gov/inside-fs/le...

Taps the window sign “…And you have to give them hope. Hope for a better world, hope for a better tomorrow, hope for a better place to come to if the pressures at home are too great. Hope that all will be all right. Without hope…the us’es will give up.” Please don’t give up. #HarveyMilkDay

A12 #ParkChat Each week our chatters try to send out letters of respect and love to our rangers/staff at a chosen park, so they get a nice swath of incoming love mail. This week, let's take it down south and send a letter to the staff at Big Thicket National Preserve: 6044 FM 420 Kountze, TX 77625
