495 outdoor organizations sign letter to Congress demanding action on firings

A group of 495 outdoor-related organizations have signed a letter being sent to Congress urging an immediate reversal of the federal government's seemingly arbitrary firing of public lands workers. Groups to sign on include conservation organizations, local tourism boards, friends of national parks, tribal organizations, and even outdoor marketing firms, among others. The letter is a reaction to the chaotic firings of park rangers, researchers, and general staff among federally run public lands agencies.
