  • Yosemite Environmental Education Center
    National Park Service Yosemite National Park U.S. Department of the Interior Yosemite Environmental Education Center Final Environmental Impact Statement January 2010 Yosemite Environmental Education Center Final Environmental Impact Statement Yosemite National Park Lead Agency: National Park Service ABSTRACT The Yosemite Institute (YI), a National Park Service (NPS) non- profit park partner, has provided environmental education programs in Yosemite National Park since 1971. In 1973, YI began using the old CCC/NPS Blister Rust camp at Crane Flat for overnight programs and operations. YI also leads programs out of Curry Village in Yosemite Valley, and rotates students in and out of the two park areas throughout their week- long stay. Most of the Crane Flat campus structures and utilities are approaching 70 years old, are energy inefficient, and are increasingly difficult to retrofit to achieve modern standards for health, safety, and accessibility. Crane Flat campus currently provides overnight lodging for 76 students per night, while the remainder is housed in commercial lodging in Curry Village (now in adjacent Boystown) at a significantly higher cost. To address these issues, and provide a more suitable educational facility, YI and NPS are considering options to redevelop the existing campus or construct a new campus at a different location. This Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) presents and analyzes three alternatives the agency is considering for public input and review, according to the National Environmental Policy Act (1969, as amended): Alternative 1—No- Action ; Alternative 2—Redevelop Crane Flat Campus; and Alternative 3 (Preferred)— Construct a new campus at Henness Ridge, and restore Crane Flat to natural conditions.
