It’s been widely reported that roughly 1,000 permanent Park Service employees in their “probationary” period were fired earlier this month. “Probationary” isn’t a measure of job performance; it refers to employees who are new hires in their first one or two years of employment or longer-term employees who recently transitioned to a new position. An estimated 4,700 more employees were terminated at other public land management agencies, including the U.S. Forest Service and the Department of the Interior, which includes the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The official list that OPM likely contains has not been made public and likely will never be public, so us park rangers decided to make one ourselves,” the ranger wrote, referring to the Office of Personnel Management.

Together, park rangers say they’ve collaboratively verified more than 750 of those firings in the past week and a half. Some parks lost just one employee, while Shenandoah National Park and Everglades National Park, for example, lost 15 each, according to the document.
