Our 2025 Fall Newsletter has gone to mailboxes and is available online. If you’d like a hardcopy but haven’t received one, let us know by emailing admin@hetchhetchy.org.
We are planning to make expanded use of our water taste test soon, as well as provide a new approach to water and power alternatives. Stay posted. Also, We had to cancel meetings with the National Park Service due to the government shutdown – bad timing, but we will be rescheduling soon.
It was great to catch up with Secretary Donald P. Hodel in October. Hodel proposed restoring Hetch Hetchy in 1987 and remains a strong supporter. He is looking forward to more good news in 2026.

Former Secretary of the Interior Donald P. Hodel with RHH Executive Director Spreck Rosekrans – October 2025.
We have two events planned in 2026. Details will come soon, but save the dates now if you are interested.
- On Saturday, May 2, 2026, join staff and board members as we visit Hetch Hetchy. It’s a great time of year to see the canyon and hike out to Wapama Falls (or as far as you’d like to go) and have dinner at the Evergreen Lodge.
- On Saturday, October 17, we will have our annual dinner at the Lafayette Veterans Memorial Center. Please join us.
Also, please consider supporting Restore Hetch Hetchy’s Giving Tuesday Match – we are about halfway there! All gifts up to a total of $10,000, received between November 18 and December 2, will be matched 1:1 = 100% by a generous $10,000 match from an anonymous RHH donor. Our goal for Giving Tuesday is $20,000.
