Yosemite National Park is facing critical challenges, including severe staff shortages due to a federal hiring freeze imposed by the Trump administration, which has led to hundreds of rescinded job offers. As the busy summer season approaches, expert voices warn that the park's visitor experience and ecological integrity are at risk. The resignation of Yosemite Superintendent Cicely Muldoon adds to the turmoil, highlighting deep concerns from former park leaders and local experts about the long-term health of this treasured national park under current policies.
The lack of staffing and the blockage of the reservation system have led to catastrophic effects on the already overburdened Yosemite National Park.
Experts warn that decades of efforts to safeguard Yosemite's ecological integrity are being compromised due to federal hiring freezes and budget cuts.
