Yosemite is a hub for biodiversity, providing a protected home for more than 400 vertebrate species. On this wildlife-focused weekend, you’ll have the unique chance to learn from a team of National Park Service experts, as you visit varied habitats to observe some of the park’s most fascinating creatures. Spend three days diving into the worlds of diverse animals, such as rare reptiles and amphibians, seasonal songbirds, bats and black bears. In addition to expanding your knowledge of iconic Sierra species, you’ll get an inside look at some of the cutting-edge wildlife research and management work the Conservancy helps fund in the park.
