Hetch Hetchy, like the rest of Yosemite, is beautiful year-round.
At a time when our national parks are more popular than ever, Hetch Hetchy can be a new model. We can create a place where natural and cultural resources are truly honored, but without the congestion that too often diminishes the visitor experience in nearby Yosemite Valley.
We have asked the National Park Service to expand gate hours, in winter as well as summer, so visitors can savor THEIR national park. We need more people to visit during all seasons to build support for relocation of the reservoir and return of the valley to all people.
Please help return Hetch Hetchy to its natural splendor and make Yosemite whole. To make a contribution:
- Send a check to Restore Hetch Hetchy, 3286 Adeline St. Suite 7, Berkeley, California 94703, or
- Pay by credit card online , or
- For other options, including appreciated stock, see our other other ways to give page.
Thank you for your consideration.
Even Michael O’Shaughnessy, San Francisco’s Chief Engineer, appreciated the beauty of Hetch Hetchy. O’Shaughnessy sent this postcard to his wife in 1919, 4 years before the dam that would be named in his honor was completed.
