"The Trump administration is eyeing a 30 percent payroll reduction at the National Park Service, signaling big cuts at a high-profile government agency that could make headlines during the summer vacation season.

Managers were asked to put together plans to eliminate 30 percent of payroll, a former employee who had to put together one such plan told The Hill.

The reduction would be to payroll, meaning it would not necessarily lead to a 30 percent reduction in the National Park Service’s staffing, since some workers earn more than others.

Either way, it would be a significant cut that would be felt at the service, and, if they are among the places facing job cuts, could be noticed by visitors to places such as Yellowstone National Park, Glacier National Park and other sites managed across the country by the National Park Service."
