Friends of Multnomah Falls keeps Visitor Center open following federal cuts
Briefly

Recent federal budget cuts have led to a significant reduction in the presence of the U.S. Forest Service at popular tourist sites such as Multnomah Falls. With more than 250 seasonal park jobs eliminated in Oregon and Washington, the Forest Service will only have a ranger on-site during weekends from April to October, and even that will be sporadic. This development underscores the increasing significance of volunteers who will play a vital role in sustaining the management and preservation of these natural attractions.
The recent federal budget cuts have resulted in significant staff reductions for the U.S. Forest Service, impacting some of the most popular tourist destinations, including Multnomah Falls in Oregon.
