Trump’s budget proposal targets National Parks with massive funding cuts

April 3, 2026

The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) is once again raising concerns over a new round of devastating proposed budget cuts for our national parks.

Today, the Trump Administration released its 2027 budget proposal, which, like last year’s, would gut the National Park Service, threatening the protection, maintenance, and operation of more than 430 national parks nationwide.

The proposal makes sweeping cuts across the Park Service budget, including a $736 million reduction (more than 25%) to park operations, likely eliminating thousands more park staff after a year of severe losses. RVtravel
