Just reopening after a three-month closure for a global pandemic, reduced funding, a glut of summer visitors and a disease that is killing rabbits, Joshua Tree National Park is facing a daunting list of challenges. Joshua Tree National Park Superintendent David Smith will be the guest on the Z107.7 “Up Close” show tomorrow morning at 10 am.
During his 30 years with the National Park Service, Smith has served as a law enforcement ranger, a park interpreter, biological technician, legislative staffer, and naturalist. Smith who said he “grew up climbing and camping in what is one of America’s hidden jewels—Joshua Tree National Park,” will give an update on the park’s status and answer questions live on the air about the park and its future.
