The Yosemite Fund® Providing for Yosemite’S Future The Yosemite Fund ® annual report 2006 From the Chairman and President Dear Friends of Yosemite: Gifts and pledges from 27,000 Yosemite Fund donors made our mission to preserve, protect and enhance Yosemite highly successful in 2006. The diverse range of Fund projects that balance resource protection with the visitor experience are possible because people who love Yosemite continue to care for its future. The $13.5 million Campaign for Yosemite Trails was launched on National Trails Day in June 2006. The Campaign will raise funds to repair and reconstruct Yosemite’s most critically compromised, high profile trails and represents the largest trail repair effort ever undertaken in Yosemite. More detail about the Campaign is included in this report. In addition to the Campaign launch, the Fund’s annual contribution of $3.8 million went to support 50 projects in Yosemite, ranging from asphalt removal in Yosemite Valley’s Stoneman Meadow to restoration of an historic Yosemite Valley Railroad caboose in El Portal. Bill Floyd, Chairman and Bob Hansen, President The Fund also had an event-filled year. Nic Fiore’s contributions to the Yosemite community were celebrated with The Yosemite Fund Award. The Fund enjoyed the Autry National Center’s Los Angeles premier of the traveling exhibition Yosemite: Art of An American Icon, for which the Fund had provided a research and development grant. Donors and Park Service employees enjoyed the dedication of the $1.6 million Olmsted Point Restoration. Finally, Fund staff and donors shared National Trails Day hikes led by Royal Robbins in spring and Donor’s Day wagon rides in Wawona during autumn. We wish to express our gratitude to Yosemite’s best friends—our donors, volunteers, trustees and staff—all of whom give back to the place that has given them so much. Every gift, small or large, permanently and positively shapes Yosemite’s natural and cultural landscapes as well as its future. THE YOSEMITE Sincerely yours, FUND’S MISSION To provide broad-based private funding and resources for projects that preserve, protect Keith Walklet , or enhance Yosemite National Park. The ultimate result of Bill Floyd, Chairman Bob Hansen, President Fund operations must be material improvement in the stewardship and quality of Yosemite’s natural, cultural or historical resources or the visitor experience.

  • Sierra Nevada Mountain Yellow-Legged Frog
    BEFORE THE SECRETARY OF INTERIOR CENTER FOR BIOLOGICAL ) PETITION TO LIST THE SIERRA DIVERSITY AND PACIFIC RIVERS ) NEVADA MOUNTAIN YELLOW- COUNCIL ) LEGGED FROG (RANA MUSCOSA) AS ) AN ENDANGERED SPECIES UNDER ) THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT Petitioners ) ________________________________ ) February 8, 2000 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Center for Biological Diversity and Pacific Rivers Council formally request that the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (“USFWS”) list the Sierra Nevada population of the mountain yellow-legged frog (Rana muscosa) as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act (“ESA”), 16 U.S.C. § 1531 - 1544. These organizations also request that mountain yellow- legged frog critical habitat be designated concurrent with its listing. The petitioners are conservation organizations with an interest in protecting the mountain yellow-legged frog and all of earth’s remaining biodiversity. The mountain yellow-legged frog in the Sierra Nevada is geographically, morphologically and genetically distinct from mountain yellow legged frogs in southern California. It is undisputedly a “species” under the ESA’s listing criteria and warrants recognition as such. The mountain yellow-legged frog was historically the most abundant frog in the Sierra Nevada. It was ubiquitously distributed in high elevation water bodies from southern Plumas County to southern Tulare County. It has since declined precipitously. Recent surveys have found that the species has disappeared from between 70 and 90 percent of its historic localities. What populations remain are widely scattered and consist of few breeding adults. Declines were first noticed in the 1950's, escalated in the 1970's and 1980's, and continue today. What was recently thought to be one of the largest remaining populations, containing over 2000 adult frogs in 1996, completely crashed in the past three years; only 2 frogs were found in the same area in 1999.

    248 The Chii1·ch of Ireland. of them might have sought and obtained preferment elsewhere. Some of them, like Canon Jellett, actually refused it. If the Irish Church is to hold her own, it will be due, under Provi­ dence, to the courage and constancy of these faithful few. The story is familiar to us of the Roman leader who, returning from a lost battle, was met by his countrymen, not with re­ proaches for a catastrophe which he had been powerless to prevent, but with gratitude because he had not despaired of the future of his country, and was still at her disposal. Surely less justice ought not be meted out to men who, through evil report and good report, have tried to do their duty. To their unwearying and unselfish exertions Ireland owes it that she still retains energy and utility in her Church after a succes­ sion of blows as unavoidable as they were unprecedented. MIDLETON. ART. II.-THE MOUNTAIN RANGES OF CALIFORNIA. OST of us can remember how, in our early school-room M days, we were taught to o-eneralize the great mountain ranges of Western America under the comprehensive name of "The Cordilleras "-the name given by the Spanish settlers to describe the many chains of mountains whicli trend north and south from Patagonia to British America, forming the sinews of the vast continent. In South America, these mountain cords were defined as Cordilleras of the Andes, that grand simple range usurping the supremacy beyond all question. But the Cordilleras of North America comprise a great number of ranges, intricate as the cordage of a shi_p.
