Friends,
I hope you are well and are able to celebrate the holidays, even though most of our traditional gatherings have been restricted or eliminated due to the Covid-19 pandemic. There are better times ahead.
We are all looking forward to 2021. There’s still time, however, to make a tax-deductible donation in 2020 so that we can continue our campaign to undo the greatest damage ever suffered in America’s national parks.
Making Yosemite whole again will inspire a new generation of conservationists. We must convince San Francisco, using either a carrot or a stick (or a bit of both), to make water system improvements as many California water agencies have been doing for more than 25 years.
We are looking forward to working with the new Congress, the new Administration in Washington DC and officials in San Francisco. We will be pressing forward on all fronts, including:
- promoting water system alternatives that employ technological innovation and California’s new groundwater law,
- showing how the National Park Service has allowed San Francisco to deny public access in the Hetch Hetchy Canyon,
- demanding a change to the insignificant $30,000 in annual rent that San Francisco pays for the right to store water in Yosemite National Park, and
- expounding the tremendous unparalleled opportunity to return Hetch Hetchy to its natural splendor.

Happy holidays,
Spreck Rosekrans, Executive Director
