Off with their nature-loving heads
Fresh out of college more than 10 years ago, I volunteered for the National Park Service “family” (“Family Crisis,” April 6) in Yosemite Valley. Even then I saw my fellow employees’ frustration. My idealistic love of nature wasn’t enough to lead me to seek permanent employment. Living on a hand-to-mouth salary and with your neck on the chopping block wasn’t for me. It begs the question, “Where are our priorities?”
