Federal cuts to the National Park Service and United States Forest Service could impact East Tennessee — especially at the most visited national park in the country. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park hosts over 13 million visitors each year.

The cuts targeted federal employees across all departments with “probationary status” because they have been hired in the past year. Probationary workers are easier to fire because they lack the bargaining rights of career employees to appeal their terminations, USA TODAY reported.
