Midwest National Park Managers - Funding Cuts Impact 2019-2026
NPS funding cuts- reporter reaching out
Hi I’m a reporter.
I'm working on a story analyzing how national parks in the midwest have been impacted by federal funding cuts in the last 18 months. I'm looking to compare budgets, employee numbers and visitor numbers from 2019-2026. Some of this data is difficult to find online and it varies depending on the source. So far I have been looking at local publications, as well as the National Park Services Website. The issue with the NPS website is that it is rarely updated; some haven’t been updated since 2015.
I want to specifically look at the Indiana Dunes National Park, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Voyageurs National Park, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. If anyone knows of other parks in the midwest that have been impacted by cuts, feel free to suggest.
Are there online resources where I can find the information I’m looking for?
If you have any information to point me in the right direction, feel free to PM me.
If you want to talk, I’m happy to speak off the record/background.
