Yosemite National Park Continues Efforts to Restore the Wawona Meadow

Yosemite National Park contains approximately 3,000 meadows that range in elevation from 3,000 feet to 12,000 feet. Each of these plays an integral role in the parks biological diversity, with as many as one third of the park’s plant species located in these meadows. The Wawona Meadow, located in the southern portion of Yosemite National Park, has been severely altered by human activity over the past 60 years. This included the grazing of cattle and horses and an airstrip that was decommissioned in the late 1930’s. The Wawona Ecological Restoration Project, which began in September, is intended to restore the meadow to its natural condition. https://www.nps.gov/yose/learn/news/wawonamdwresto.htm
