This might be nit picky, but how is explicitly supporting nature preserves and National Parks a left-wing thing?
You can advocate for tight purse strings while protecting natural beauty for everyone of current and future generations.
I think your sentiment is a bit revealing of the divisiveness present in national political discourse. Supporting the park service shouldn't be seen as left or right, it should be seen as cost benefit analysis that a particular congressperson has made.

In the present political climate, one of the political parties has (incubated?/)latched onto the generalized anti-government sentiment that came to a head last year around the Occupy movement. Since National Parks and nature preserves are handled under a government organization, they represent something which that one political party has made a priority to remove in this round of politicking.
