You are going to lose your public lands

Sources provided in post.

Let me be perfectly clear. The excision of federal staff from National Parks and other public land agencies is not about saving money. Many of these positions are funded by FLREA- the fees collected from entrance stations and campgrounds. Most Backcountry and Preventative Search and Rescue, and some Law Enforcement positions are funded through a Cost Recovery process- or fees collected from backcountry permits. Many Forest Service trail crews are funded by money collected from commercial guide and outfitter revenue as well as other Forest use fees. If the point of this was to save money, then why were these positions cut? I do not think it is alarmist at this point in time to think that privatization of public lands is not the end goal with this administration.
