7th Annual Yosemite Facelift

7th Annual Yosemite Facelift  September 22 -26 2010

It's that time of year again. It's time to clean up the trash from the busy summer months before the winter rains hit. The Yosemite Facelift is a volunteer park-wide cleanup.

Show up early to help with special projects or enjoy a special place in the Park taking some time to clean up some trash.

Participants must register at a check-in station in order to participate. We will provide trash bags, litter sticks and safety vests.
All volunteers receive a raffle ticket for the daily 5:00pm raffle. There are evening programs every night starting September 21st through the 26th at the East Auditorium.

Check-in stations are in the following locations;

  • Yosemite Valley: In front of the Visitor Center - 8:00am to 5:00pm, 9/22-9/26
  • Crane Flat: South end of Tuolumne Grove parking lot - 8:00am to 5:00pm, 9/24-9/26
  • Tuolumne Meadows: Lembert Dome parking lot - 8:00am to 5:00pm, 9/24-9/26

The Facelift is organized and sponsored by the Yosemite Climbing Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving Yosemite’s climbing heritage.

Help us clean up Yosemite National Park.

The National Park Service cooperates with the Yosemite Climbing Association and Delaware North Company to fulfill a legal obligation to protect the cultural
resources of the park through education and outreach. Large clean-up efforts, such as the Yosemite Facelift, provide unique opportunities for cooperative stewardship.

Facelift Camping in Yosemite Valley is Full.

The camping in the Valley is full unless there are cancellations. I will get camping in outlying areas, Crane Flat, Tamarack, Tuolumne, etc... I am also working on El Portal too. I just don't know what sites will be available. Those that have not received confirmations, please be patient, I don't know where to put you yet. There will be camping and projects near Crane Flat and in Tuolumne too.

Turned down $20,000 sponsorship for Facelift

I turned down a potential $20,000 sponsorship because they wanted to promote bottled water. They were disappointed and a little upset. I feel promoting bottled water is encouraging the wrong message especially in Yosemite which has some of the best tap water in the world. A lot of what we clean up during the Facelift is empty plastic water bottles. I would have accepted their offer if they would have brought a water station to encourage the use of sustainable containers. I think that the bottled water companies need to move in this direction for the future. This will make it a little harder to finance the Facetift(Don't worry I will find some funding). I hope you feel the same and agree with me for holding my ground.
