Change happens…and sometimes it doesn’t.
Change certainly is underway in Washington, where the incoming
Trump administration is putting its players in position with
promises of changing, or maybe upsetting, the status quo.

by National Park System damage from hurricanes, tornadoes, sea
level rise, wildfires, just about everything under the sun.

the Coalition to Protect America’s National Parks and John Garder
and Chad Lord from the National Parks Conservation Association.
