National park visitors cut down protected Joshua trees during partial government shutdownThere are two kinds of people in this world: Those who take it upon themselves to go to understaffed national parks to keep them clean during the government shutdown, and then those who set up illegal campsites and cut down Joshua trees in the national park of the same name. Disgraceful :/ Sad Wtf is wrong with those people?

Human waste, champagne bottles, even a prom dress: Joshua Tree and Yosemite get trashed as shutdown continuesNational Park Service is restricting access to more parkland in California as the partial government shutdown drags on. The south entrance to Yosemite National Park will be closed to anyone without a camping reservation. How will nature survive without human intervention? I might be wrong but about the same as it did without us I assume? What is wrong with humans I hate how sad but true this is. 😟 Why must people be so destructive for no reason? I know people get irritated by the 'Nanny State' of California, but this is just one tiny but impactful reason why. As a California native, my heart hurts. 💔

Joshua Tree National Park avoids temporary closure, will reopen closed areasThe park used Federal Land and Recreation Enhancement funds to clean up trash and overflowing toilets, and to reopen campgrounds for overnight stays. What is worse to have crawl across your foot at Joshua Tree National Park? Value it whilst it's there, not after it's gone. This is a shot of a Joshua tree that someone cut down recently in order to drive off-road through the park. Word has it that it's not the only one. I just can't believe they're willing to risk yet more damage to the park. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Joshua Tree National Park stays open, will increase access during government shutdownOfficials at Joshua Tree National Park say some of the iconic trees and landscape have been damaged by visitors and motorists during the government shutdown. Idiots gotta Idiot. Trump voters attack. Why? What is the purpose of anyone destroying parks? Defecation in public places trashing places? What pleasure does it serve? Why are we so destructive? At some point those poor workers will have to clean it all up and our kids will have nothing 2 look at when its all destroyed Passing blame. The visitors damaged them, not the government shutdown.

Joshua Tree National Park Will Stay Open After All As Officials Use Other Funds For MaintenanceThe National Park Service has been forced to operate with a limited workforce during the shutdown, leaving trash cans and toilets on federally managed lands unmaintained and large swaths of habitat unprotected. Sadly whether it stays open or not the damage has been done and without staff to monitor activities more damage could be done
