Hi Bill,

 

Thanks again for taking the time to talk with me earlier this week and share your insights. Here are the links for my stories that feature quotes from you.

 

This audio piece aired nationally on NPR this afternoon: https://www.npr.org/2025/02/28/nx-s1-5304434/what-doge-cuts-could-mean-for-national-park-visitors

 

This written piece came out on KUER’s website today, too: https://www.kuer.org/science-environment/2025-02-28/i-still-love-public-lands-says-a-utah-ranger-swept-up-in-the-park-service-firings

 

Feel free to share/post these links however you like. And please reach out anytime if you hear updates related to Utah’s parks or find out anything else I should know for my coverage.

 

Thanks,

Thanks for taking the time to talk with me this morning, Bill. I appreciate your insights.

 

I’m doing two pieces on the NPS firings this week. I plan to include a quote from you in the second one, but the first one just came out this morning so I wanted to send you the link. It features interviews from a protest about the firings at Zion.

 

Here’s the link: https://www.kuer.org/politics-government/2025-02-25/i-feel-for-them-after-zion-firings-springdale-is-anxious-about-tourism-season

 

Please feel free to share/post the story link however you like. You can hear the audio version of the story by clicking the Listen button under the headline, too.

 

Thanks!

Hi David.

 

Unfortunately, Monday afternoon will not work for me. I can do pretty much any time on Tuesday. Or I could do today after 4pm MST.

Hi Bill,

 

Hope you’re doing well. I’m a reporter based in St. George, UT, with KUER, NPR Utah.

 

I’m working on a story about the impacts of the recent firings at Utah’s national parks, and a couple of the people I’ve talked with have suggested I reach out to you. I plan to include perspectives from fired rangers in this story to put a human face on the firings too, but thought you might have a good perspective on the broader impacts.

 

Would you have time for a phone/zoom interview this coming Monday afternoon, the 24th? If so, let me know what time works best for you.

 

Thanks!
