The vision of Restore Hetch Hetchy is to return to the people Yosemite Valley’s lost twin, Hetch Hetchy – a majestic glacier-carved valley with towering cliffs and waterfalls, an untamed place where river and wildlife run free, a new kind of national park. (Photo: Matt Stoecker)
2024 will be an exciting year. We are looking forward to our continued work with the National Park Service to improve access at Hetch Hetchy and with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission and other water agencies to develop alternative supplies.
We will also be continuing our outreach to recreation groups, so they will understand what is possible and support our campaign. Returning Hetch Hetchy to its natural splendor will provide an alternative to the often overcrowded Yosemite Valley and inspire a whole new generation of nature lovers.
Restore Hetch Hetchy is encouraged by other dam removal efforts in California. In 2024, 4 dams on the Klamath will finally be fully removed. Also, removal of the Scott and Cape Horn dams on the Eel river appears imminent – more on this soon. (A reminder that Restore Hetch Hetchy is not anti-dam. Most dams serve useful purposes and are necessary. But some are harmful and whatever benefits they provide can and should be replaced by other means.)
Restore Hetch Hetchy is grateful to all who share our vision. We wish you a happy holiday season and a good new year.
