Flowing out of Yosemite runs the South Fork of the Merced River, along which an old trail winds through lands wilder than those in Yosemite.
We're an adventure-based non-profit group that hosts trail and camping "stewardship trips" along the South Fork of the Merced River in Mariposa County, with a mission to repair and maintain this trail, while offering opportunities for locals to get outdoors, experience nature, learn about and add to the cultural history of the area, and to give back in the form of trail-work.
Outings occur throughout the year and can be day-trips or multi-day excursions for small or large groups.
- Contact me to help you create a stewardship outing for your group.
- We operate under an umbrella organization- The Upper Merced River Watershed Council.

The UC Merced Writing Project, or "UCMWP", is a collaborative program of the University of California, Merced, and Merced County school districts, dedicated to improving writing and the teaching of writing at all grade levels and in all disciplines.
The UCMWP works as a growing network of exemplary classroom teachers, kindergarten through university, who conduct professional development programs for teachers and administrators and engage in their own professional development through continued reading, writing, and research.
The UCMWP is considered a site of the California Writing Project and an affiliate of the National Writing Project. Teachers who attend our programs find that our professional development model of “teachers teaching teachers” provides hands-on experiences focused on building teacher knowledge and valuing teacher expertise.
Providing ongoing professional development in literacy and the teaching of writing for student success is the sole goal of the WritingProject. The UCMWP believes that knowing how to write well — to express, explain, argue — is a powerful predictor of success not only in college but also in the world of work. This belief has long been corroborated by researchers in both academic and public forums and served as the impetus for the birth of the National Writing Project which grew out of the 1974 Bay Area Writing Project in Berkeley.
