Yosemite National Park Announces Yosemite Centennial Ambassadors

A prestigious group of park supporters and advocates have been announced to be Yosemite Centennial Ambassadors. The Yosemite Centennial Ambassadors were selected from a wide variety of backgrounds and include musicians, scientists, artists, athletes, historians, writers, public officials and educators. Each ambassador shares a unique story, love, and commitment for Yosemite National Park. The Yosemite Centennial Ambassadors will help the park connect with and inspire the next generation of park visitors, supporters, and champions. In 2016, Yosemite National Park will commemorate the National Park Service’s centennial anniversary. The National Park Service was created on August 25, 1916 and will officially become 100 years old on August 25, 2016. http://www.nps.gov/yose/learn/news/yoseambassadors.htm
