Ranger-led program about bears.

The National Park Service in Yosemite has been working on the development of a Comprehensive Interpretive Plan (CIP). This plan will outline a comprehensive approach to interpreting park natural and cultural resources. The CIP is necessary to ensure long-term protection of resources through visitor understanding and enjoyment. The final product of this effort will guide interpretation and education in Yosemite for the next 5 -10 years.

Completion of this plan is expected during winter 2010.

Sierra Sweet Bay

Did You Know?
In Wawona and downstream, the South Fork Merced River provides habitat for a rare plant, the Sierra sweet bay (Myrica hartwegii). This special status shrub is found in only five Sierra Nevada counties. In Yosemite, it occurs exclusively on sand bars and river banks along the South Fork Merced River downstream from Wawona and on Big Creek.
