Trump Administration Blocks $25 Million in National Park Project Funding
The Trump administration blocked over 130 national park projects worth at least USD 25 million, including wildfire preparedness, habitat protection, and historic preservation efforts at parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite, Zion, and Joshua Tree. The Interior Department rejected partnership agreements with outside groups, citing conflicts with administration priorities. These projects, funded through congressional appropriations, required Interior approval before release. Joshua Tree National Park was notably affected, with multiple agreements blocked that supported staffing and wildfire recovery.
