Our national parks are essential. But to enjoy them into the future, we must put the safety of visitors, park service employees, and gateway communities first. At least 10 park employees and two park police have already tested positive for COVID-19. That's why the Sierra Club has joined advocates for the parks and park employees in calling for national parks to be temporarily closed during the COVID-19 public health crisis.

"Moments of crisis and vulnerability can also be moments of learning, personal growth, and resilience." |
