“This is a hugely important moment for national parks,” Yosemite Conservancy President Frank Dean says. “The influx of federal funding for deferred maintenance, alongside continued philanthropic support, means Yosemite and other parks will be able to tackle major infrastructural challenges while continuing to provide high-quality visitor programs, serve as hubs for scientific research, and more.” Read on for more information about this exciting new law and what it means for the future of our parks.

Yosemite Bike Share Homepage

You probably read about our donor-supported Yosemite bike share in last month’s enewsletter, when we thanked Peet’s Coffee for their generous support of the program. Now we’re excited to share a new page on our website that outlines when, where and how to take advantage of the free bikes, plus the important precautions we’re taking to keep you safe in the age of coronavirus.
