POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C., U.S. — The Trump administration is actively evaluating a substantial restructuring of both the National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This move represents the second major shake-up of the nation’s public lands infrastructure in under two years.
According to internal documents reviewed by The Washington Post, officials are looking to significantly reshape the departments’ most public-facing offices. The reorganization targets core bureaus within the Interior Department, signaling a continued push to transform federal land management.
Critics argue these sweeping changes and associated budget reductions are destabilizing the agency. They contend that recent actions threaten the integrity of the national park system and its foundational missions.
The controversy stems in part from earlier workforce reductions. Early last year, the administration initiated steep cuts to the Park Service staff, resulting in at least 20 percent of parks remaining significantly understaffed to this day.
