Speak out for parks and public lands!

Parks are underfunded and understaffed, running on a shoestring budget but expected to bring amazing visitor experiences all-year-round. To make matters worse, the unpredictable impacts of climate change will transform landscapes for generations to come. The race to equip NPS with cutting-edge climate science and management practices is an urgent need.

National parks face constant climate threats, including unprecedented floods in places like Death Valley and Yellowstone, wildfires in Yosemite, and more frequent and intense hurricanes in the Everglades. In order to face understaffing, climate disasters, and longer-term impacts, parks need funding, so when parks need financial resources, we don’t find ourselves caught in cumbersome negotiations. Our parks need action now and cannot wait.

As a national park lover and constituent, I’m reaching out to share my concerns that future underfunding of our parks won’t help them prepare for the unavoidable impacts of climate change.

We are seeing unprecedented disasters become a regular occurrence with now-common record floods and fires closing parks and threatening communities. Longer summers and winters with more rain and less snow have led to extended seasons for visitors, which require more park staff to handle the increase. Yet even though Congress provided our parks the needed resources in the IRA to prepare parks and visitors for climate change, a sustained, long-term effort to address the impacts we’re already seeing is needed.

National parks are deeply loved by the American people. They protect the diverse history and stories of America, the habitats and ecosystems that make many landscapes so unique and awe-inspiring. Improperly funding the budget for national parks undermines the very places our lawmakers like you have promised to protect.

The new recently announced funding deal might help, but only if it results in a full-year spending bill that avoids cutting    funding for the National Park Service. I urge you to fund the National Park Service so it continues to protect and preserve America’s most treasured natural and historic treasures for generations to come.
