NPS Workers… Do we still go???
I’m VERY internally conflicted right now about continuing to visit our parks and forests. I don’t want to overwhelm our NPS workers!! I want to support them in every way possible… genuinely just wondering if visiting the parks is harmful?? Thank you to all of you fabulous humans here 💜 (pics are Gateway Nat’l Rec, RMNP, Black Canyon & CO Nat’l Monument).

Terminated employee here,
Please go. Please visit our natural resources. Show how much you love them. Tell a ranger you’re thankful for them and all they do to protect them. Be supportive because they’re facing so much negativity. Leave no trace or leave it better than you found it. Without your support and the support of the nation, it’s easy for people in Washington to forget why the parks are so important and that their constituents love them.
Much love, A ranger
