National Park News: Plan For Baseball in Tetons Backfires, Lawsuit Over Foreign Visitor Fees, NPS Restructuring?

The National Park Service could be headed for a major restructuring that would change how parks across the country are managed.

In this week’s National Parks and public lands news roundup, we break down the proposed “hub and spoke” management model, what it could mean for smaller park units, and why former park leaders are raising concerns.

Also this week:

• Grand Canyon is still recovering from major flash flooding and damage to the North Kaibab Trail • Investigators say Yosemite’s Dome Fire was started by an abandoned campfire • A tour company is suing over the new $100 international visitor fee at major national parks • Major League Baseball has abandoned its idea of staging a game inside Grand Teton National Park • Yellowstone Superintendent Cam Sholly is leaving the National Park Service after nearly eight years • Arches National Park has launched a new shuttle connecting Moab with the park • Three bears in the Grand Teton/Jackson Hole area were euthanized after becoming conditioned to human food • Alcatraz Island will temporarily close this fall for major dock repairs
