Alt National Park Service

Alt National Park Service is an activist coalition composed mainly of U.S. National Park Service employees, as well as employees of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and others.[1] The group formed after a press ban was enacted by President Donald J. Trump that limited the use of social media accounts, such as Twitter, by governmental agencies such as the EPA and the US Department of Interior.[2][3][4] These social media accounts mainly post pro-environmental content, often centered around the issue of climate change.
