Joshua Tree May Feel The Effects Of Government Shutdown For Hundreds Of Years

It could take Joshua Tree National Park up to 300 years to recover from damage it sustained during the partial government shutdown, a former park superintendent said Saturday.

Curt Sauer, who retired as Joshua Tree’s superintendent in 2010, spoke to a group of some 100 park advocates who gathered on Saturday in protest the environmental and economic effects on Joshua Tree during the shutdown.

“What’s happened to our park in the last 34 days is irreparable for the next 200 to 300 years,” Sauer said, according to the Palm Springs Desert Sun.

Three thousand miles away, President Donald Trump the previous day announced a short-term plan to reopen the government for three weeks.
