ACTION ALERT
Yosemite National Park Asks for Additional Public Comment on Tuolumne Plans
If you have ever climbed in Tuolumne Meadows, the National Park Service wants your input. How do you envision Tuolumne in the future? Do you want more camping? Less camping? A larger store? No store? Cars? Shuttles? What about climbing opportunities and access?
Yosemite National Park (YNP) will answer these questions-with your assistance-through the Tuolumne Wild and Scenic River Plan and Tuolumne Meadows Plan which will together guide the future management of uses in the river corridor and services and restoration at Tuolumne Meadows.
Last summer Yosemite National Park opened these plans for initial public comment. For the Access Fund's Scoping Comments to Tuolumne Wild and Scenic River Comprehensive Management Plan/Tuolumne Meadows Plan, see www.accessfund.org/pdf/AFScopComTuo.pdf Now, YNP is asking for addition public input while developing the alternative concept for the Tuolumne Plans.
Yosemite National Park will accept your Tuolumne comments through September 15th at:

To assist the public in formulating planning concepts and issues, YNP has developed a workbook where you can find summaries of all the work accomplished to date. Climbers have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make their voices heard in the future of Tuolumne, review this information and to share your comments and ideas with YNP as everything is still subject to revision. Check out the workbook at www.nps.gov/archive/yose/planning/trp/workbook-web.pdf and review this effective and convenient online resource.
Also see the NPS website www.nps.gov/archive/yose/planning/trp/ where you can review additional details and planning timeless. For more information, send an email to yose_planning@nps.gov or contact project manager Kristina Rylands at (209) 379-1175.
