The NPS has been preparing the Tuolumne River Plan since 2006. From those earliest days, transparency and public involvement have been seen as central components to a successful planning effort. To that end, the NPS strives to provide access to planning materials--including early alternatives--as well as public comments received throughout the process.

Many of the documents listed below track the plan's developments from the most recent efforts to the beginning of the process. To learn more about this planning effort and some of the issues and concerns facing the Tuolumne area, read through the following information.

Low intensity fire in Yosemite  

Did You Know?
Natural fires in Yosemite are often no more than a single burning snag (standing dead tree) or a slow moving, low intensity fire that cleans underbrush from the forest floor. These fires prevent unwanted fires by removing accumulating forest debris that can fuel a larger fire in hot, dry conditions.
