Park staff welcome you to come to Yosemite and talk with us in person about our plans and projects. Pubic meetings and monthly Open Houses are a great way to learn more about what is going on in the park. These arenas offer a chance for you to meet with park and project managers to get your questions answered, or your comments submitted.

Visit our schedule of events page to view our park calendar and see what is going on in Yosemite.
