FRIENDS OF KATAHDIN WOODS & WATERS • February 28, 2025
The National Park Service is facing unprecedented challenges in 2025. With 1,000 NPS employees terminated, the NPS team at Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument may face changes to current staffing and recruitment. A bright spot: hiring of seasonal employees at the National Monument is moving forward, meaning some of the most critical visitor-facing rangers and maintenance jobs in the monument can be recruited. Monument staff are eager to continue providing accesss to these invaluable public lands and the experiences they offer. You can express your concerns to your elected officials directly or using a form like this one from National Parks Conservation Association.
