The proposed budget for the Department of Interior (DOI) is $16.1 billion for the 2027 fiscal year, a 1.3% decrease from last year's budget. The department is projected to generate $19.8 billion in revenue by that year. The budget would cover spending for lands such as national parks, national wildlife refuges, multiple-use lands overseen by the Bureau of Land Management, and related agencies. Part of the budget would reauthorize the National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund, which was first established in 2020 but expired in October due to congressional inaction. The proposal also proposes a $1.9 billion per year for five years towards the National Park Service, which can be used for maintenance projects and repairs in national parks. The park operations budget now sits at $2.1bn, a 25% reduction that could result in the elimination of park staff positions. The proposed budget also includes an 18% reduction in full-time staff, leaving it with 72% less funding than the 2025 budget.
