Yosemite Facelift: volunteer clean up (video)

Jen Bradford, Dhr. Seven, Xochitl (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

If the Native Paiute kept it clean, so can we.
Throughout the year, Yosemite National Park has several special events such as Junior Ranger Day, Earth Day (both in April), Apple Picking Day (mid August), and Yosemite Facelift (late September), where volunteers can just show up, no application needed.

These events are listed on this website (Drop-in Volunteering and Special Events, Yosemite National Park, U.S. National Park Service, nps.gov) when the dates are known for each year.

Before long, the snow comes and closes roads.
For all special events and drop-in days, the park asks participants to wear long pants and closed-toe shoes, appropriate gear for the weather, and to bring sun protection, water, and snacks.

The park provides tools and protective equipment. All participants must sign a volunteer agreement [42 kb DOCX]. To fill out the form in advance, it will be posted with each special event or drop-in project as they are planned.

(It can also be signed on the day of the project on-site). Guardians must sign the form for participants under the age of 18. More
