The Interior Department withheld approval for more than 130 partnership agreements, affecting various projects in national parks across the United States. These agreements included activities like sled dog care and protecting burial mounds.
Internal documents obtained by The Washington Post reveal that the Trump administration obstructed projects valued at over $25 million. This funding had already been allocated for crucial work in several prominent parks. Examples of the halted initiatives include enhancing fire preparedness in California, preserving prehistoric mounds in Iowa, and maintaining sled dog resources in Alaska.
