A reduction-in-force coming to the National Park Service within the next two weeks has been described internally as being "deep and blunt," according to a social media post.

By now you've seen the stories about what you'll experience in the National Park System this summer: crowds and long lines to enter parks, dirty restrooms, vandalism, chaos. The question to be asked is what can be done about the cutbacks the Trump administration is making to the National Park Service that will either directly impact your vacation or, possibly behind the scenes, lead to damage to the parks' natural resources.

There are "known unknowns" concerning the makeover of the National Park Service that President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficency is orchestrating.

An estimated 2,400-2,500 National Park Service employees, roughly 12.5 percent of the agency's entire workforce have taken Trump administration offers to resign or retire, according to the National Parks Conservation Association.
