- Wednesday, President Donald Trump nominated a Delaware North parks and resorts executive for National Park Service director.
- SO 3431 directed reviews of public monuments under President Donald Trump's March 27, 2025 Executive Order, and the Department of the Interior rolled out a media reporting tool consolidating communications, the department said.

- The Senate must confirm Scott Socha's nomination, and supporters praise the lower costs from an 'America-first' pricing model while Trump proposed cutting the Park Service's $2.9 billion budget last year.
