In Case You Missed It, <\/strong>U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) joined business owners, former National Park Service employees, and community leaders in Reno and Las Vegas this week to raise the alarm about the potentially devastating impacts of President Trump\u2019s policies on Nevada\u2019s outdoor recreation industry. From tariffs to funding cuts to firing National Park Service staff, Trump\u2019s chaotic policies are jeopardizing the Silver State\u2019s $8.1 billion outdoor recreation industry, threatening over 58,000 Nevada jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reporter: \u201cThe Gear Hut\u2019s been running in Midtown for the past seven years under the tutelage of Leah Wzientek. She said during the average day, plenty of explorers come through her doors, but there\u2019s also many federal workers with the National Parks and Forest Service in need of the essentials. [\u2026] However, many of these federal positions could be slashed under President Trump\u2019s proposed budget plan, and on Tuesday, Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto stood with Wzientek and other business leaders from around the Silver State to sound the alarm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Cortez Masto: \u201cNevada\u2019s natural beauty alone isn\u2019t what brings its visitors. It\u2019s our National Park Service staff as well, who keep our parks and sites functioning and clean and keep our visitors safe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reporter:\u201cConcerns raised at the meeting were cuts to critical federal funding and the termination of National Park Service staff. Reduced funding means fewer resources for forest management, trail maintenance, lake clarity research, and wildlife protection. Community leaders in attendance say tariffs also affect some outdoor recreation small businesses that rely not only on healthy tourism but also on reliable supply chains, many of which do not exist within the U.S. They also add that outdoor recreation contributes $5.2 billion annually to Washoe County\u2019s economy. It also generates over $440 million in state and local taxes and generates around 43,000 jobs in Washoe County alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cortez Masto: \u201cIt is currently crunch time for the National Park Service, for our small businesses, and for our travel industry. [\u2026] Because of the policies of this administration, [there\u2019s a] negative impact to our outdoor recreation, [\u2026] it is increasing costs for families, household costs, energy costs, health care costs, clothing, you name it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
