Yosemite’s nearly 750,000 acres harbor diverse terrain, from low-elevation meadows and woodlands, to alpine lakes and talus slopes. Your support can fund projects to restore habitats, so natural processes and native species can thrive in healthy ecosystems.

You’ll see signs of healthy habitat restored through donor-funded projects almost anywhere you go in Yosemite. Milkweed blooming in Yosemite Valley meadows. Rare plants flourishing in the soaked “spray zone” beside Vernal Fall. Giant sequoia seedlings stretching out of healthy soil, 300 feet below the crowns of their mature relatives. Wetland rebounding in Lyell Canyon, as vegetation takes root in the former footprint of a relocated trail.

Our habitat restoration projects have rehabilitated and protected ecosystems in popular parts of the park, such as Mariposa Grove and Tuolumne Meadows, and in the far reaches of the Yosemite Wilderness, where “Keep It Wild” crews carefully repair areas impacted by backcountry camping.
