Restore Hetch Hetchy is dedicated to restoring Hetch Hetchy Valley — Yosemite Valley’s lost twin — to its natural grandeur. Once a majestic glacial-carved landscape of towering granite cliffs, cascading waterfalls, free-flowing rivers, and thriving wildlife, Hetch Hetchy has the potential to become a new model for national parks: one with limited development, an enhanced visitor experience, shared stewardship with Indigenous peoples, and permanent protection of its natural and cultural heritage for future generations.

We advocate for modern water system improvements that would allow the relocation of Hetch Hetchy Reservoir without reducing San Francisco’s water supply or clean hydroelectric power generation. We call on San Francisco, the State of California, and the United States Congress to restore Hetch Hetchy Valley to the American people.
