The U.S. Forest Service manages 193 million acres of public land. The trails we hike. The water we drink. Forest we love.
In 2025, 5,860 employees were fired or pushed out. 57/77 research facilities are closing. Trail maintenance hit a 15-year low. $1.4 billion in cuts proposed.

I own a small bakery. Business has been slow. Rent is up. I was thinking about closing.
Last Friday, a teenager came in. He looked nervous. He counted out change for a cookie. He was short 50 cents.
"It's okay," I said. "Take it."
He ate it at a table, looking at his math homework. He looked stuck.
I used to be a math tutor.
I walked over. "Quadratic equations?"
He nodded. "I don't get it."
I sat down and helped him for 20 minutes. He got it. He left smiling.
The next day, he came back with two friends. They bought cookies.
The day after that, five kids came.
Apparently, he told the school, "The lady at the bakery helps with homework."
Now, my bakery is the after-school hang-out spot. It's loud. It's messy. There are backpacks everywhere.
Yesterday, I found a note in the tip jar. It was wrapped around a $20 bill.
"Thanks for helping my son pass math. A Mom."
I'm not closing the bakery.
I think I finally found my purpose.
It's not cookies. It's community.

There is currently limited access to running water at Paradise, MRNP. This may impact availability of food service, drinking water, and restrooms. If you’re visiting the mountain this weekend come prepared with your own water, snacks, and other essentials.
