Yosemite Conservancy is the only nonprofit dedicated to supporting Yosemite National Park.

As Yosemite’s official philanthropic partner, we work closely with the park to fund high-priority restoration, research, and wildlife projects, and we also provide enriching educational programs.

We offer art classes including nature journaling, wine and paint, half-day outdoor painting classes, and more; our outdoor adventures range from single day hikes to multi-day backpacking trips. Plus, our art instructors and naturalist guides are some of the best in the business, and will help you see Yosemite like you never have before. Best of all, every single one of our programs supports the preservation of Yosemite National Park.

As interest in national parks across the country continues to grow, this spring and summer season in Yosemite promises to be a busy one — now more than ever, it’s important to plan ahead. Luckily, our programs and our friendly team offer a meaningful and hassle-free Yosemite experience. Join us!
