I would love to see more people volunteer. I've been a NPS VIP (volunteer in park) since the year before I retired. The park service is very appreciative of those that volunteer.
In fact, the NPS would collapse without the volunteer workforce.
And yet, here in CA, all volunteerism has been banned. Camp hosts used to be volunteers - now the state mandates that they are paid positions. Obviously not at the federal level. On the state level, from top to bottom.
To avoid getting political I won't suggest which side of the political divide is behind that, so lets' just say they will be lock step with the sky-is-falling original subject of this thread. And of course it is CA, so identifying the politics behind it should be obvious.
