Why protect the Yosemite rivers and their vital ecosystems?

  • They provide clean, reliable water to the Bay Area and the Central Valley

  • Hundreds of wildlife species depend on the waters and their surrounding lands

  • Restoring the rivers, meadows, and forests means building climate resilience

  • Our work prepares the next generation of environmental leaders to care for this region 

Joining a 40-year movement will help protect the Tuolumne, Merced, and Stanislaus Rivers. Giving today ensures these lifelines continue to nourish people, wildlife, and the Yosemite region far into the future.
