Yosemite face lift 2007
Yosemite Climbing Association
FOURTH ANNUAL
YOSEMITE FACELIFT
September 26 September 30, 2007
The Yosemite Facelift is organized and
sponsored annually by the Yosemite Climbing
Association, a non-profit organization dedicated
to preserving Yosemites climbing heritage.
Help us clean up Yosemite National Park.
For five days in this fall, the Yosemite Climbing Association will once
again sponsor a Yosemite-wide cleanup to benefit the park and help
restore high use areas after the busy summer season. Our goal is an
intensive cleaning of all areas in the park before the winter rains set
in. This will include roadways, the river corridor, trails, parking areas,
campgrounds, climbing areas, and lodging areas.
Meet us in front of the Visitor Center between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM from
September 27th to October 1st to pick up trash bags and litter sticks.
Bring your trash back for weighing and sorting by 5:00 p.m. Signing in
and weighing your collection at the end of the day helps us track our
progress, reach the most area and create revenue for the Park.
Show up early for assignments, or if you already have a route for the
day, sign up, grab a trash bag, and spend some time cleaning the area
you are enjoying. If you cant be there at 8:00 AM, show up when you
can, every little bit will help. Each participant receives a raffle ticket for
every day they participate. Hundreds of prizes will be raffled off at a
special reception for all participants on September 30.
The park entrance fee will be waived for Facelift participants. Free
camping is available on a first come first served basis. We hope to see
you there!
If you cannot participate, but would still like to help, please consider a
tax deductible donation to Yosemite Climbing Association at P.O. Box 89,
Yosemite, CA 95389. Your gift will help us offset the cost of the event.
Last year, 1,157 participants donated 9,256 hours, collected 25,000
pounds of trash, valued at $166,970 by the National Park Service.
Thanks to this effort, the NPS presented Ken Yager with the Yosemite
Award. Help us make the YCA Yosemite Facelift an even greater success
this year.
