As part of the continuing public involvement process for the Tuolumne Wild and Scenic River Comprehensive Management Plan (Tuolumne River Plan), all interested members of the public are invited to attend two summer planning workshops. Each will take place at Parsons Lodge in Tuolumne Meadows from 11am-3pm.
Come find out the latest about planning for Tuolumne Meadows and the entire 54-mile river corridor within Yosemite National Park. The Draft Tuolumne River Plan/Environmental Impact Statement is expected to be released for public comment in January 2010. Bring a lunch and be prepared for a 30-minute walk from the parking area to Parsons Lodge.
July 17: Learn about the latest issues currently being discussed by the planning team and park managers. Share your ideas!
August 21: Learn about the Tuolumne River Plan's range of draft alternatives, including a sneak peak at the agency's preferred option.
Save the Saturdays of July 18 and Aug. 22, 2009 and come up to Tuolumne Meadows as the National Park Service hosts two open houses dedicated to planning efforts focused on the high country. Displays will be set up outside the Tuolumne Meadows Visitor Center and project managers will be on hand to answer questions. Each open house will also feature an opportunity for field visits to the various project areas.
Additional details will be announced in a future e-newsletter. Projects will include:
* Tuolumne River Plan
* Tenaya Lake Area Plan
* Tioga Road Trailheads Project
* High Elevation Aquatic Ecosystem Recovery and Stewardship Plan
* Parkwide Communications Data Network Project
