  • As a forestry technician and wilderness ranger for Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in Washington state, Downs picked up trash that campers left behind and buried human waste. Downs camped alongside visitors and taught them "Leave No Trace" principles to minimize human impact on ecosystems.

The article from MSN discusses the abrupt termination of jobs for over 1,000 workers at national parks and forests due to a government shutdown. This action, referred to as "DOGE" (which seems to be a typo or misnomer for "furlough" or "shutdown"), has led to significant operational disruptions. The shutdown affects various services including visitor centers, educational programs, and maintenance, potentially leading to park closures or reduced services.
