Have you ever wondered how you can learn about what's going on in the park without reading through a 300 page document? A great way to start the process of getting involved in park projects is to read through related fact sheets. Fact sheets are typically created for a project, ongoing issue, or planning effort near its inception. A fact sheet is a concise (1-2 pages) document that provides such things as an introduction, background, purpose and need, estimated schedule, and any other associated details pertaining to the subject matter. These documents are a great way to begin your understanding of what is going on in Yosemite and what the next steps are for your involvement.

For more information regarding specific projects, visit the Current Plans and Projects page for more details.
