国产吃瓜黑料 and RE:PUBLIC reporters went deep inside three iconic national parks to see how America鈥檚 public lands are holding up under pressure
This fall, RE:PUBLIC and 国产吃瓜黑料 have partnered on a series of on-the-ground reports from iconic parks, where our writers spent the late summer and early fall documenting the real-world effects of budget cuts, staffing shortages, and deferred maintenance across America鈥檚 public lands. RE:PUBLIC is a nonprofit journalism initiative that funds and co-publishes deeply reported stories about the future of public lands, working with leading media outlets to bring these issues to a national audience.
When we first started talking with the team at RE:PUBLIC about collaborating on a public lands package, we were circling the same question: What does it actually look like when America鈥檚 park system starts to crack? Not in abstract terms鈥攂udget lines or agency memos鈥攂ut on the ground, where visitors and rangers see the effects firsthand.
That question sent three writers into three very different national parks: Yosemite, Great Smoky Mountains, and Rocky Mountain. What they found wasn鈥檛 always visible from the trailhead or a scenic overlook, but it told a deeper story about what鈥檚 really happening behind the glossy brochures and Instagram-perfect views.
Taken together, these stories offer an unfiltered look at the state鈥攁nd fate鈥攐f our national parks, from the crowded roads of the Smokies to the privatization movement in Yosemite to the ranger stations of Rocky Mountain, where even the most dedicated staff are running on fumes.
