The firing of approximately 1,000 newly hired National Park Service employees by the Trump administration has raised alarms among Yosemite National Park personnel, who worry about the negative impact on visitor experiences and local wildlife protection. Yosemite’s renowned natural beauty, which draws tourists nationwide, relies on adequate maintenance. While the administration has pledged to restore some jobs and increase seasonal hiring, current staff fear that reduced numbers could lead to unkempt park conditions, epitomized by experiences shared by recently laid-off employees.
Yosemite's recent staffing cuts worry employees about potential impacts on the park's upkeep and wildlife welfare, undermining the visitor experience and natural beauty.
