Bicking is the executive director of the Connecticut Forest and Parks Association, a non-profit that uses about ten percent of federal funding in its budget to help upkeep trails.

The article from MSN discusses the potential impacts of federal funding cuts on state parks and forests. It highlights how reduced federal support could lead to decreased maintenance, fewer ranger-led programs, and possibly even closures of certain areas within these public lands. States might have to compensate for the shortfall, which could mean higher fees for visitors, reduced services, or seeking alternative funding sources like private donations or partnerships. The article also mentions that some states are already preparing for these changes by exploring new revenue streams or cutting back on less popular programs to maintain essential services. This situation underscores a broader concern about the sustainability of public land management in the face of fiscal constraints.
