Does anyone know if the cuts to the federal workforce have hit our Tallgrass National Preserve yet?

Acccording to the Emporia Gazette -
“Only one employee from Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve has been terminated so far: a biologist working on the park's management plans. That person declined to be interviewed, citing concerns about retaliation.”

It’s operated/run by The Nature Conservancy. I don’t believe there are any federal employees there.

It was there long before the government “managed” it. It will be there long after, too.

The Buffalo cut the grass, so I don't expect budget cuts to hit the tallgrass prairie very hard.
