The Yosemite National Park public scoping process to review and update the current Wilderness Stewardship Plan has begun. The current management plan was adopted in 1989, and is starting to show it’s age.
The proposed new plan will “provide additional policy direction and address contemporary management challenges.”
From the National Park Service website: “Located in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range of central California, the Yosemite Wilderness area encompasses more than 704,000 acres and accounts for over 94% of the total area of Yosemite National Park. Officially designated by the California Wilderness Act in 1984, the Yosemite Wilderness has long been a place for inspiration, wonder, and discovery.”
