Park Leaders Show : Park Ranger | National Park | State Park | Leadership

The National Park Service is faced with a $12 billion deferred maintenance backlog.  How did we get here and what can we do about it? John Garder from the National Parks Conservation Association joins the Park Leaders Show to discuss how the maintenance backlog grew so large and what we can do about it.  The maintenance backlog in the National Park Service is a reflection of what is happening with most park system throughout the United States. The discussion on the impact of a maintenance backlog is relevant for any park and any park system that struggles with deferred maintenance.  To find out more about the deferred maintenance backlog, please visit NPCA.org.  You can connect to Park Leaders on Twitter and Facebook.
