Trump Administration Attacks National Park Funding The news from Washington D. C. has been bleak for national parks in recent years.
In 2018, the Trump administration proposed a significant cut to the National Park Service's budget, which would have reduced funding by over $150 million – roughly 12% of the agency's total budget at the time.
The proposal was eventually watered down to a more modest reduction, but it marked a disturbing trend in the way our national parks are being treated.
