Hundreds of Joshua trees were scorched during the shutdown
A firefighter with the National Park Service says a fire wiped out more than a thousand Joshua trees amid the government shutdown. Restoration could be limited by a depleted staff, they said.

This weekend, the New York Times ran a story claiming Sierra Club’s values have diluted our mission. They couldn’t be more wrong. The list of their errors is too long for one social post, but we go over some examples in these slides.

Democrats host town halls to hear from voters, fire up supporters -- but is their message resonating?
Town halls are among the strategies that Democrats are using to try to get their base fired up against the Trump White House.

Our nation's veterans and service members reflect every aspect of what makes America one of the world's most diverse and multicultural societies. They also have a legacy directly tied to our public lands. Today, about a quarter of the National Park Service workforce are military veterans.
