Joshua Tree National Park is being completely closed Thursday — because of all the damage done to it since the government shutdown.

The famed California desert park and other national sites have been rocked by the furlough of many of their staffers and closing of visitors’ centers thanks to the shutdown — as unchecked visitors wreak havoc.

Mounds of human waste and trash have been dumped along park roads, and in Joshua’s case, drivers have carved destructive new paths off the main trails and its namesake trees have been defaced.

Starting Thursday morning, “the way it looks right now because of resources or lack thereof … we will remain closed until appropriations are put into place to reopen,” a park spokesman told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday.

The park added in a statement, “Law enforcement rangers will continue to patrol the park and enforce the closure until park staff completes the necessary cleanup and park protection measures.”

Some other national park sites have either completely closed or shut off sections to the public.
