We asked off-duty and former rangers how they're feeling. Check out the images for their words.

Text reads: “My heart bleeds for the staff there now.” “Having spent the best 5 years of my NPS career at Big Bend, and having been responsible for the well-being of the park community through the pandemic, my heart bleeds for the staff there now. Not only are they bearing witness to the insensitive destruction of much of the park they swore an oath to protect, but they are forced by politics to do so in silence, else they may be risking their jobs and livelihoods. But THEY ARE NOT ALONE. The country is watching and we will prevent the worst of this.” – Bob Krumenaker, Big Bend Superintendent 2018-2023 and Chair of Keep Big Bend Wild

Text reads: “23 years of being a Law Enforcement ranger at Big Bend. Now I’m ready to throw the award they gave me at a dozer.” “I never thought I would see a construction company have operational control of the park. And they do. If they want an area closure, they get it. Clearing for materials yards? Well, they just do it. No permits, no compliance nothing. Sometimes they tell the park where they are going…as a good will gesture. – Michael Ryan, former BIBE River District Ranger

Text reads "“It just feels good seeing a thing stop” The reason construction paused is because of organizing. I know it’s not over, but its a win. And I’ll take every chance I can get to remind myself that when we work together, we do have power. Even the most heartless of administrations will respond if enough people stand up. It just felt good seeing a thing stop. - anonymous resistance ranger

text reads: “We all go to the river” In Big Bend, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the wide open spaces. But within those vast distance, we go to the water- all of us from humans to animals. We all go to the river. One of the most striking features of the Big Bend area is it's biodiversity - so many species of birds, of mammals, of cactus. Cutting off human access to the Rio cuts off our connection to our ancestors and our options for recreation in the desert. Cutting off animals' access cuts off their lives. A wall, or any disruptive and unnecessary construction, threatens this impressive web of life in so many ways.

On 8/17, after public pressure, CBP's commissioner ordered a pause on construction in Big Bend. That's not the end. It's a pause, not a win and now is the time to push harder.

Text reads: whats new? On 8/17, after increasing public backlash (from you!), CPB’s commissioner ordered a pause on all construction in Big Bend until he went out to see for himself. We’re not sure what will happen next, but this is an important step! There is a photo of an excavator in a desert landscape with a large blue clouded sky

Text reads: so.. did we win? The administration is responding to pressure, but the fight is far from over. This is a pause, not end-game. But it’s still worth celebrating! That means now is the time to push even harder! A photo shows an excavator in a large desert ecosystem, with an ocatillo desert plant visible.

Rather than allowing the bipartisan, longstanding America 250 commission to continue, Trump created the “Freedom 250” initiative when his administration discovered they couldn't directly manipulate where the money went.

Text at top reads, “Did you know?” Below, two categories with bulleted list. Category one is “America 250” with a green check next to it. The bullets are: “bipartisan; established by Congress in 2016; financial transparency & public funding; public service & engagement; not perfect, but not terrible.” Beneath that text is the second category: “Freedom 250” with a red circle and “x” next to it. The bulleted list reads: “established by Trump admin in 2025; no financial transparency; funded by private donors to buy favor; whitewashed, distorted history.” At the bottom of the page, a green banner says, “Want receipts? We got ‘em” with arrows pointing right.

This is a fight over public memory, and the public’s right to know. What we learn in our national parks matters. When signs, exhibits, webpages, and public education materials are removed or rewritten, the public loses access to the stories that help us understand who we are. America 433+.

Rangers already follow strict laws protecting classified information. These NDAs go further — silencing lawful whistleblowing, blocking oversight, and hiding abuse of power.

A black image with a red horizontal like across the middle. Bold white and light blue text reads, “There’s a difference between confidentiality and forced silence. We already follow strict laws protecting classified or sensitive information. NDAs that go beyond these legal requirements create fear about lawful disclosures, reporting wrongdoing to Congress, inspectors general, or other oversight bodies.

A black image with a red horizontal like across the middle. Bold white text above the red line reads, “Secrecy must not be used to hide abuse.” Below the red line, light blue text reads, “Projecting legitimate sensitive information is mandatory. Using sweeping NDAs to shield misconduct or suppress lawful speech is not. Secrecy breeds corruption and abuse of power.”

A black image with a red horizontal like across the middle. Bold white text above the red line reads, “No one should be pressured into signing away their voice.” Below the red line, pale blue text says, “Workers should not sign NDAs that could prevent lawful reporting of wrongdoing or restrict their ability to speak through protected channels.”

Slide with olive green background and white text stating that 27 UNIHTED created a dashboard to view all survey results.

Bold text at the bottom reads: “This survey is an important record of the personal, professional, and financial costs of illegally firing public servants.”

Slide with olive green background and white text titled “Survey organizers have recommended policy actions.” Bullet points call for accountability and remediation for affected workers, stronger legal protections for probationary federal employees, rebuilding the federal talent pipeline, protecting the federal workforce from politically motivated mass actions, and addressing the mental health consequences of the firings. A concluding paragraph notes that the survey’s purpose is not to influence policy and acknowledges the proposals would not fully remedy the harms experienced by all probationary employees, but could help organizers.

Infographic with olive green background and white text about “The Probationary Project.” It states that 27 UNIHTED published results from an anonymous voluntary survey of former federal probationary employees from multiple agencies, and that Resistance Rangers On the Air recorded some of the stories. Icons and statistics at the bottom show: 306 responses, 37 agencies, and 43 states represented.

Note that, “probationary” does not mean disciplinary in the federal government, a probationary period is required any time an employee begins a new position. Federal court later ruled the firings unlawful...But impacts on these employees and public services are lasting.”

Socha has been nominated to be the next director of the National Park Service for some time now. But we still have the opportunity to stop his confirmation. We just have to make enough noise now.

Image of a geothermal pool and a red flag in the foreground, and a black background with trees and text above. Text reads, “Happy parks need happy workers. Under Socha’s leadership, DN fired and evicted Yellowstone tour guides who were attempting to unionize. He’s a walking red flag about how he’ll treat the park workforce.”

Will he act in the best interest of our national parks or the rangers who protect them? We doubt it…”

Socha was a corporate executive at Delaware North (or DN), a huge company that runs a lot of the businesses you see in parks. So, remember that awesome park ranger who led your family on a tour last summer? Well, Socha wants to replace that ranger with a private, for-profit tour company.

Image of the top of a Jolly Ranger face and trees overlaid on a black background. Text reads, “Scott Socha is a businessman with a history of privatizing national parks and mistreating park workers. He’s also slated to be the next National Park Director (make it make sense!!).
Here are some of the things Socha did while building a career around privatizing and profiting off of our parks.”

We know it’s hard to know where Burgum’s fantasy world ends🦄 and reality begins, but we tried to decipher it for you (with sources so back it up!)

Same layout as previous slide. Text reads, “Summary of Burgum’s Claims: What Doug Burgum argued at the hearing:
Staffing cuts aren’t real losses — they’re voluntary or reorganized.
The National Park Service has too many off-site staff.
High gas prices are caused by reliance on foreign oil.
Offshore wind poses major risks to national security and marine life.
He framed these as efficiency, energy independence, and safety concerns.”

Same layout as previous slide. Text reads, “Our response: What was presented vs what’s supported: Complex issues were oversimplified into talking points. Measurable impacts were downplayed or reframed as neutral, Risks were selectively amplified in some areas and minimized in others, often w/ blatant hypocrisy. The result: a version of reality that doesn’t fully reflect how these systems actually work. From the people doing the work: The impacts are real, no matter how they’re verbally “softened.” These systems are more complex than a single explanation. The details matter because they affect how parks are protected and run.”

Same layout as previous slide. Text reads, “Parks don’t run on oversimplified talking points. They run on rangers.”

Resistance Rangers @resistancerangers.altgov.info · 24/04/2026

He also thinks Secretary of the Interior thinks he’s in charge of oil, and offshore wind is a national security threat, and harms marine life (but don’t worry the offshore drilling in the gulf totally won’t harm the marine life).

Same layout as previous slide. Text reads, “Burgum Claims: Californians pay more for gas because they import more foreign oil, turning them into an “energy island.” Below, the word “facts” is in all green and states in a bulleted list: Oil prices are driven by the global market, not just sourcing. The U.S. is one of the top global oil producers globally. California (& U.S.) prices are more influenced by refining capacity + supply constraints. Bottom line: This oversimplifies how gas prices actually work”

Same layout as previous slide. Text reads, “Burgum Claims: Offshore wind in New England would “endanger our greatest population area” because wind turbines interfere with sonar. Wind turbines require hundreds of miles of underwater blasting, threatening whales & marine life..” Below, the word “facts” is in all green and states in a bulleted list: Offshore wind projects undergo multi-agency review, including defense and environmental oversight. Current research does not show major sonar disruption from turbines. Marine impacts are evaluated through environmental impact studies - protections Burgum helped overturn for offshore oil, threatening the critically endangered Rice’s Whale. Bottom line: Claims overstate risks without strong evidence.”

Resistance Rangers @resistancerangers.altgov.info · 24/04/2026

Main takeaways if you only listened to Burgum’s side of the events - none of the staffing losses in the past year are a big deal 🫠

Image of Jolly Ranger in background, text reads, “Burgum Claims: DOGE had no effect on staffing because everyone got their jobs back, and they were “new employees anyway. The “drama” of the creation of the Wildland Fire Service is overplayed staff is just being transferred. It is not a “dramatic” loss.” Below, the word “facts” is in all green and states: Federal workforce reductions have been framed internally & publically as a way to push employees out. While many departures were labeled “voluntary,” they followed constant instability and pressure. Losses included both early-career staff and experienced employees. Bottom line: Impact was real—even if labeled voluntary.”

Same layout as previous slide. Text reads, “Burgum Claims: The NPS needs fewer people at “districts,” regions, service centers, headquarters, etc. He wants people “actually in the parks.” Below, the word “facts” is in all green and states in a bulleted list: NPS relies on regional + national staff (science, HR, IT, cultural resources). These roles directly support park operations and preservation - they can’t function without them. The NPS does not operate on a “district” system. Bottom line: Cutting these roles weakens park operations.”

On April 20th, we all had to hear Doug Burgum spin the truth under oath during the Department of the Interior Budget Hearing. We’re back with another very in-depth fact versus fiction for you, because there is so much to unpack from that hearing😵‍💫

Image of Doug Burgum from the hearing holding a piece of paper overlaid on forest trail background. Text above reads, “How do you know the Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum is lying? He opens his mouth.”

We made this flyer to spark conversation - not to shame. Print it out, put it in your bosses mailbox, send it to your superintendent. And don't let them make you feel crazy. You aren't, and your work matters.

A flyer with the header "Doug Burgum can go fork himself". Text reads:
"whats going on?The DRP comes in a broader context of government
overreach and deliberate traumatizing of federal employees. Why? They
want us gone so they can privatize public lands–but they know RIFing
us would cause public outrage. Plus, most of their incompetent plans
end up overturned by a court. So rather than a RIF, they’re using the
DRP to drive people out. Making our lives hell is a big part of that-
Russell Vought even said they “would put federal employees in trauma.”
The uncertainty around RIFs, threatening reorgs, hiring freezes....
you’re not crazy, it’s a part of a plan to get you to leave. And, they
can go fork themselves. Making this choice. Only you know what you
need. If this work is harming you, that matters.

You can’t resist if you are burned out, miserable, and broken. Do what
is right for YOU. There is no “right” choice. You deserve to feel safe
and supported, and never asked to be put in this position. And–this
doesn’t just affect us today, it shapes what the NPS becomes.Park
staff: We know this makes your work harder, on top of nearly
impossible jobs already. Regional + WASO staff: Don’t let them
convince you that your work isn’t important. It is. If you stay: Hold
the line! Don’t let the bastards get you down.

Slow things down-

put sand in the gears.

Make as many paper trails as possible!

Don’t shame anyone who chooses to leave.

If you go. Don’t give up the fight! Your voice still matters.

Support public lands from the outside!

Share your story and why your work was important.

Be kind to yourself, and support your community. Regardless: Once a ranger,

always a ranger.

What’s happening to parks and public lands isn’t right. The public
deserves to know!

Use your (non-work-affiliated) voice to talk about it. Contact your legislators.

The "best", fastest way to privatize public lands is get rid of us, the rangers who protect them and uphold our mission statement. So their playbook is simple: make our lives hell, then give us an easy out.

A background image of a ranger looking out over a sunset. Large text
reads "fight back". A text box says, "No matter what you decide, the
fight isn’t over. We got them to back down from RIFs (for now) so they
brought back the DRP and are doubling down on consolidation and
“re-orgs” But we see through them.
Our voices, your voices, matter!"

It's no secret why they want a buy-out rather than do a RIF- because they want us gone, but they don't want to face public backlash of gutting the NPS.

A background image of a ranger looking out over a sunset. A large
black heading says "whats going on with the DRP". A text box says
"Once again, the Department of the Interior is trying push out
qualified park rangers who are trying to protect public lands with
another “buyout”, or deferred resignation program (DRP). This time,
they’re targeting the regional and Washington level offices who work
behind the scenes to make it all happen.

You know this but its worth repeating: they want you to quit, rather
than RIF you. But their goal remains the game: push out civil servants
and privatize public lands.

Regional + WASO folks: they gave you so little time to make this
decision, we're sure this week will be hell. Hopefully this flyer
helps spark conversation."

Often we speak to the public, but today - we're talking to you, ranger friends. Another week, another (our third!) buy-out attempt, or "deferred resignation"/fork in the road email.

A background image of a ranger looking out over a sunset. A large
graphic of a jolly ranger with the words: resistance rangers is over a
text box, that says, "This post is for the rangers who follow us
thinking about the new “buyout”. (niche content alert! sorry the
public, we love you anyways)"

The Trump administration tried to push cuts like this last year and public pressure helped stop it in Congress. We must do this again. No official vote has been scheduled, but we know it will happen in the coming weeks to months.

Image of trees on black background. Text reads, “Instead of funding essential programs across the country, FY2027 proposal creates a new "Presidential Capital Stewardship Program"
within the NPS. It's proposed budget?
$10 billion, roughly 4-5 times the entire NPS annual budget.”

Image of trees on black background. Text reads, “To be clear, The National Park Service has a $23 billion critical maintenance backlog. The proposed $10 billion "DC beautification" budget alone could fix nearly half of it.”

Image of trees on black background. Text reads, “We've done this before. Last year, proposed cuts were removed because you made it clear that Americans do NOT want this. We need to do it again. So what can YOU do?”

At the same time, the administration is proposing $10 billion for a D.C. beautification project — funding that could cover nearly half of the National Park Service’s maintenance backlog.

Image of trees behind black background. Text reads, “Flashback to last year:
Proposed FY2026 NPS budget cuts were NOT approved by Congress and removed from the final bill thanks to YOUR help and voice.
BUT IMPACTS STILL HAPPENED.
Since early 2025, the NPS has lost 4,000 plus employees , nearly 25% of its workforce, through layoffs, hiring freezes, and early retirements.”

Image of trees on black background. Text reads, “Back to FY2027:
These cuts go beyond the national parks in the Dept of the Interior. NPS, a 25% overall cut, Construction budget, a 72% cut. BLM, a 28% overall cut. Core land management, a 34% decrease. Impacting hundreds of millions of acres of public land.”

Image of trees on black background. Text reads, “Some programs are being reduced dramatically. The Historic Preservation Fund, $181M to $11M (down 94%). National Recreation & Preservation. $91M → $6M (Down 93%). National Conservation Lands, $59M → $14M (down 76%). Along with major cuts to conservation, recreation access, wildlife, and habitat management programs.”

Defunding America’s Best Idea. The proposed FY2027 budget includes a ~25% cut to the National Park Service, along with major reductions to other public land agencies.

Image of Jolly Ranger on black tree background. Text reads, “GUTTING America's Best Idea. The Trump admin is once again proposing massive budget cuts to the National Park Service for FY2027. We need your voice.”

Image of trees behind black background. Text reads, “This administration is spending ~$1 billion PER DAY on war. Meanwhile, all 433 national parks sites operate on just ~$9.5 million per day.
3-4 days of war spending equals 1 year of national parks. This isn't about affordability, it's about priorities.”

Image of trees behind black background. Text reads, “You -THE PUBLIC- value protecting public lands, wildlife, and cultural history.
But the FY2027 proposal includes a $736 million cut (down 25%) to the National Park
Service.”
