Join us this week for a webinar or workshop on the Merced River Plan Preliminary Alternative Concepts Workbook

Join us this week for one of the last three public events of this spring outreach series: a webinar, a workshop in El Portal, or a workshop in Wawona. At the workshops, you'll receive the 30-page Preliminary Alternative Concepts Workbook (available online at https://www.nps.gov/yose/parkmgmt/mrp_documents.htm ) accompanied by presentations and poster displays. Each workshop includes an optional site visit to tour pertinent locations addressed in the alternative concepts.

Once the Merced River Plan is finalized, it will guide future management of the river corridor's restoration, user capacity, and land use for the next 20 years. If you haven't taken part in a workshop or a webinar yet, we hope to see you!
