On behalf of the board and staff of Restore Hetch Hetchy, I’d like to express our ongoing gratitude to everyone who shares our vision and our commitment to achieving it.

We ask all our supporters to share the story of Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park with their friends and family, and to tell them about the campaign to return the valley to its natural splendor. There is plenty of material on our website (tell us what is missing) but you might also suggest that people watch Finding Hetch Hetchy or purchase a copy of Becky McCall’s In Old Hetch Hetchy.

We are also still collecting signatures for our letter to Superintendent Muldoon. Our cooperative venture with the National Park Service is one of several efforts to improve access and recreation at Hetch Hetchy even with the dam and reservoir in place. We need more people to visit, to learn Hetch Hetchy’s story and to join the campaign for restoration.

We are particularly grateful to supporters who make financial contributions – large and small. It is still possible to make a tax-deductible contribution before the end of the year (funds only need to be sent by December 31, not received). Options include:

  • 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.

Sincerely,

Spreck Rosekrans, Executive Director

P.S. After the last three dry years, I hope folks in California are enjoying a nice wet December.
