Rep. Tiffany (R-WI) has reintroduced a bill that would elevate Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, established in 1970, to full national park status, a move he says would bring new recognition and economic growth to Wisconsin while protecting the area’s unique character. #nationalparks #publiclands

All tours of the WH have been halted. Remember, this is an NPS park site, as per the NPS app. #nationalparks #parkchat

Today, in a move that has alarmed conservationists, the Department of the Interior unveiled a proposal to rescind the Bureau of Land Management’s Public Lands Rule—effectively removing conservation as an equal priority in public-land management. #publiclands #BLM #protectpubliclands #parkchat

Today, the National Park Service opened a one-month comment period during which the public can share their recommendations or concerns about visitor services at the parks. This is an extraordinary opportunity to tell them exactly what we want to see, do, learn, and experience in national parks.

Spotted today in Missoula Call 👏🏼 Your 👏🏼 Representatives 👏🏼👏🏼 #nationalparks #publiclands #parkchat

Well we’ve been hearing rumors the last few weeks of a second agency reorganization and here we go!!!! Meet your new leadership team at SSA, stacked almost entirely with non-career new hires from the financial or tech industries. And2 DOGEbags. I’ll try to research them later to see how bad it is. 😬

Our latest op-ed explores why the #RoadlessRule needs saving. We also offer instructions on how to submit a public comment about the proposed changes — but hurry, they’re due in about a week. https://therevelator.org/roadless-rule/

The Trump administration wants to repeal the Roadless Rule which would open up nearly 50 million acres of national forests to disastrous logging and destroy the habitat of over 50 endangered species. Submit a comment now to protect them. https://on.nrdc.org/4lTDsxN

It is Labor Day here in the United States - a holiday in honor of the men and women who fought for labor protections including safer working conditions, 8 hour work days and paid time off. Have a wonderful day everyone.

💡 How did Labor Day begin? At Pullman National Historical Park, you'll discover more about the brave workers who led the Pullman strike and changed conditions for workers. https://bit.ly/4fZncKu

Happy Labor Day! #thankaunion

This is a good dive into current NPS conditions with a focus on research, and the future of our natural resource agencies if things don't change. #parkchat

When considering Reconstruction, most think about the political and social impacts the era had on the millions of Black Americans. Yet this doesn’t tell the whole story. Reconstruction was national and its impacts felt broadly - including for Mexican Americans. 1/2

We love our national parks for all sorts of reasons, and our collective love for them is how we can fight back to protect our national parks and public lands. Overwhelmed on how or where to start, start here. Been doing this a while and need a little pep talk or inspiration, this is for you, too

💔 The Horace Albright Training Center (HOAL) trained National Park Service rangers for decades. It was the beating heart of the NPS - where the next generation of dedicated public servants learned to protect parks, history, and people.

Looking for a place to begin or energize your activism for our National Parks? In celebration of the 109th anniversary of the creation of the National Park Service, I created a digital handbook for activists. #nationalparks #parkchat #saveallparks heyzine.com/flip-book/ac...

On this day in 1920, the 19th Amendment was ratified into law. "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." In 1971, Congress declared Aug 26 to be Women's Equality Day.

Huzzah!

Real parks. Real people. Real bad ranger jokes. At Scotts Bluff, there’s even a counter for the groaners. It's #NPSBirthday and we're celebrating 109 years of real experiences that count. The rangers are counting every visit, are you? #BlackHills #NationalParks #Parkchat

he told the audience, “One of the things we’re going to be redoing is your parks. I’m very good with grass. I have a lot of golf courses all over the place. I probably know more about grass than any person anywhere in the world.”

Stay tuned. Monday is coming. #nationalparks

The bane of my existence is someone trying to argue that there are only 63 national parks. This is not only incorrect, but belittles the historical, cultural, and landscape parks that are also protected by NPS and is the slippery slope to dismantle the park service, 🧵1/2 #nationalparks #parkchat
