Tuolumne River Plan Public Meetings in Tuolumne Meadows

Join project manager and planner, Kristina Rylands, for an update on the Tuolumne River Plan's progress.

After nearly 6 years of research and study, as well as involvement from the tribes, public, gateway communities, and other federal agencies, the Tuolumne River Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Statement will be released for public comment in late 2010 or early 2011.

Come and learn what makes the Tuolumne Wild and Scenic River stand apart from other rivers in the nation, and the actions the National Park Service is considering to help protect and enhance river values into the future.

All presentations take place at Parsons Memorial Lodge in Tuolumne Meadows from 1:00- 3:00pm on August 20, September 10, 11, 17, and 18. There will be a slide presentation followed by a short stroll by the river. Bring water, sunscreen, and sturdy walking shoes. Allow 30 minutes to walk to the Lodge from parking areas or shuttle stops. All participants will receive a free Tuolumne Wild and Scenic River postcard, and kids of all ages can spread the word for how to protect the river as part of the "Tuolumne River Giver" coloring contest. (Everybody--and the river--wins!)
