Axios: “More than 750 national park workers have been fired amid the Trump administration’s purge of federal employees, per an unofficial tally shared with Axios by a park ranger. Why it matters: Our region is home to over 70 national parks that draw millions of visitors each year, from the National Mall to Shenandoah — and the layoffs have left fewer workers to do critical jobs as peak spring/summer season begins. By the numbers: Shenandoah National Park is among the hardest-hit, per the tally, with 15 people fired.

• Nearly 40 employees were fired from the National Capital Region, which encompasses 15 designated parklands, including Great Falls, Glen Echo, the Mall, Rock Creek Park, and Civil War battlegrounds like Gettysburg and Manassas.
• Some of the other hardest-hit include Harpers Ferry (9), the C&O Canal (6) and National Capital Parks East (6), which includes the Frederick Douglass house, Fort Washington and more.
• How it works: The local tallies come from a spreadsheet shared with Axios by a U.S. park ranger who requested anonymity to protect their job.”
