Today we're recognizing a full year of #SaveOurSigns. We can't say we're "celebrating" this anniversary - but we are incredibly grateful to everyone who submitted a photo to the #SOSArchive. With more than 15,000 photos (!!!!!) we can track and monitor censorship of the signs in our national parks.

This is great news! Thank you to everyone who helped to sound the alarm or contacted their reps to fight this. I’m no sure what will happen to the sensors already pulled from off the coast of Washington, but the rest of the network is saved for now. Keep fighting! It matters!

Wondering what "negative" stories the Secretary of Interior order 3431 erases from public view? A #SaveOurSigns volunteer captured these before and after images from #NPS site Muir Woods in California.
An image from NPS site, Muir Woods, from March 2025. Includes a section titled "History Under Construction" that indicates yellow boxes are facts rangers include that tell a more complete history as well as what stories are typically erased from the narrative.An image from NPS site, Muir Woods, from September 2025. The yellow ranger-made additions have been removed, along with questions asking individuals to think critically about information displayed.
