Yosemite Conservancy
A non-profit organization that supports Yosemite national park and the visitors who come to the park. If you are new to the Conservancy, I encourage you to check out all the opportunities. If you are looking for a special experience while you are in Yosemite, consider some of the hikes, trips and camping that they offer.
The mission statement of the Conservancy:
“Providing for Yosemite’s future is our passion. We inspire people to support projects and programs that preserve and protect Yosemite National Park’s resources and enrich the visitor experience.”
