Preserving our Parks

A group of retired National Park Service employees say proposed management policy changes threaten the purpose of one of our best resources: the national parks.

Park advocates were up in arms last August when a leaked National Park Service management proposal outlined significant policy changes. A revised proposal is less drastic but Bill Wade, a spokesperson for the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees, says it may allow for more noise and pollution, and weaken the conservation of our national parks.
