Project overview: Implement robust learning experiences about the natural and cultural history of Yosemite. Naturalist leaders will provide interpretive programming — guided hikes, backpacking, and free public walks and talks — to connect a diverse range of people to Yosemite.

How your support helps: Yosemite Conservancy’s long-running adventure programs have been partnering with the National Park Service for decades to offer high-quality outdoor programs. Our guides are Sierra Nevada experts dedicated to providing top-notch Yosemite experiences. These programs steward the park’s intellectual capital by advancing and curriculum development to create in-depth learning experiences about Yosemite’s natural and cultural history.
