Project overview: Hire and train naturalist leaders to provide high-quality interpretive programming throughout the park — outdoor walks, hikes, backpacking and camping trips — that connect a diverse range of people to Yosemite.  

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

Sign up for a naturalist walk, stargazing program, day hike, backpacking trip, or custom adventure at yosemite.org/adventure.   

This year: Your support enables visitors to explore the park with knowledgeable naturalists and rangers who love sharing their passion for Yosemite. Our guides meet visitors where they are, bringing insight and connection to Yosemite.
