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.

American Indians use traditional ignition methods on a prescribed fire project  

Did You Know?
The indigenous people of Yosemite Valley have used fire as a tool for thousands of years. Fire was used to encourage the growth of plants used for basket making and to promote the growth of the black oak--a sun loving species--and a staple food source for American Indians from this region.
