“This is what happens when trans people do what anyone else does. This is a violation of my first amendment rights. Allyship is not a noun, it’s a verb & requires action.” She flew a trans flag for 2 hours on El Captain. A new rule was created to justify firing her. #TransRights 🏳️‍⚧️ #ParkRangers

"California’s redwood trees are a national treasure and a living witness to our past. The largest of California’s redwoods grow in excess of two hundred and fifty feet tall and are capable of living for millennia. In recent years, an alarming number of old-growth trees residing in Redwood National Park have been shorn of the gnarled protrusions that grow on their trunks, called burls. Essential to the tree’s reproduction process, these burls are illegally cut by poachers who seek to sell the distinctive wood on the black market for use in fine woodworking. Concerned over the welfare of the iconic old-growth trees, photographers Kirk Crippens and Gretchen LeMaistre work with park rangers to access and photograph each damaged tree for their series, Live Burls. Working with a traditional 8x10 inch analog view camera, the artists produce breathtaking images that recall the majestic beauty of the ancient trees while drawing attention to the environmental injustice at hand. See "Live Burls" by #KirkCrippens and #GretchenLeMaistre , on display, pre-security in Terminal 1. http://bit.ly/2x8ZtST" This was posted to our Instagram account on September 17, 2018 – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/instagram/1729357665/

**The Borowitz Report is NOT the News** I like this idea. All federal workers (not including MTG) should start bringing their pet wolf-dog hybrids to work with them. #Resist #Parody #DOGEKIller #Grizzly #ParkRangers

WTF?

Confusion abounds at the #NationalParkService, which is hiring, after firing

The #NPS will hire >5,000 seasonal #ParkRangers, #Interior Secy Doug Burgum said this week, a move that comes days after he fired >1,000 full-time #park employees.

“Go apply. Apply for a job,” Burgum said in an interview Wednesday w/ #FauxNews. “We want to make sure that we’re giving a great experience for citizens at our national park system.”

Department of the Interior on Instagram: "Some of the first park rangers in America weren’t rangers at all. They were Buffalo Soldiers — Black Americans who served in the U.S. Army after the Civil War. On Buffalo Soldiers Day, we celebrate the legacy of these first-of-a-kind, trailblazing rangers. These dedicated men protected wildlife from poachers, built trails and forged a proud legacy in our nation’s history. They made these accomplishments despite the racism and prejudice that they faced. Interior continues to preserve and honor the history of these first rangers at places like @CharlesYoungNPS, Fort Selden National Historic Site, @YosemiteNPS and more. #Americanhistory #buffalosoldiers Alt Text: Photo 1: A historical photo of eight men with bicycles from the 25th Infantry Regiment Bicycle Corps are standing on a terraced thermal feature from the late 1800’s.
