Annual Report 2018 OUR MISSION

We inspire people to support projects and programs that preserve Yosemite and enrich the visitor experience.

CHAIR’S & PRESIDENT’S NOTE

Dear Friend of Yosemite

e’ve marked several notable public-lands milestones in recent years, including the Yosemite Grant Act’s 150th anniversary and the National Park Service’s 100th birthday. 2018 brought its own milestones: the 150th anniversary of John Muir’s first Yosemite trip, and the 50th of the National Trails System and Wild and Scenic Rivers acts.

Bob Bennitt, Chair Park-related anniversaries are worth commemorating, of course, but we don’t have to wait for those occasions to reflect and rejoice; every year — every month — brings something to cheer about. In this report, we’re celebrating the key to that success: you! In 2018, you helped us provide $12 million in total support to the park, through more than three dozen grants, enriching programs, wilderness services and more. Frank Dean, President With your help, park crews measured glacial ice on Yosemite’s eastern edge and surveyed natural resources in Ackerson Meadow. They studied butterflies and songbirds, restored areas affected by backcountry travel, and installed roadside “speed feedback” signs to protect wildlife.

Your gifts supported programs that improve experiences for the park’s millions of visitors and inspire the next generation. Yosemite’s Preventive Search and Rescue team promoted seasonal safety, thousands of kids earned Junior Ranger badges, and undergraduates explored park-related careers.

Meanwhile, more than 800,000 people benefited from Conservancy-run programs and services, by participating in theater, art and adventure programs; shopping in bookstores; picking up permits and bear-proof canisters; or getting guidance from volunteers.

2018 also marked a notable end — and a beginning. In mid-June, Mariposa Grove reopened after a multiyear effort to restore giant sequoia habitat; in autumn, we celebrated the groundbreaking of the Bridalveil Fall restoration project.

While we can’t possibly fit all our gratitude into this report, we hope these pages offer a glimpse into the many ways your gifts made a difference.

Bob Bennitt, Chair Frank Dean, President

Rivers acts approached in 2018, park crews were working in a place where the two acts converge: Lyell Canyon, where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCT) parallels the wild and scenic Tuolumne River. With your support, they shifted sections of the PCT upland, and restored riverside wetland to ensure the long-term health of the trail and meadow.
