Yosemite National Park and Stanislaus National Forest Announce Release of the Ackerson Meadow Restoration Environmental Assessment for Public Review

Yosemite National Park and the Stanislaus National Forest announce the release of the inter-agency Ackerson Meadow Restoration Project Environmental Assessment for public review through July 8, 2021. The Ackerson Meadow complex spans from Yosemite into the Stanislaus National Forest and it is the largest mid-elevation meadow in Yosemite. The meadow is important to a suite of at-risk wildlife species. A large unnatural erosion gully network, up to 14 feet deep and 100 feet wide, is actively draining 90 acres of former wetlands in the meadow and threatening an additional 100 acres of wet meadow habitat. Yosemite and the Stanislaus National Forest jointly propose to reduce erosion and restore wetland functionality in the Ackerson Meadow complex. https://www.nps.gov/yose/learn/news/yosemite-national-park-and-stanislaus-national-forest-announce-release-of-the-ackerson-meadow-restoration-environmental-assessment-for-public-review.htm
