Merced River Plan: NPS wants your feedback

In case you haven't heard, the National Park service has been working on the Merced River Plan for many years now. They have been sued and had to rework the plan TWICE. If they don't succeed this time it is likely that congress will get involved and legislate a plan and nobody thinks that would be a good idea.

I am currently looking over the pdf workbook to come up with some "talking points" that should be included to support and enhance bouldering in Yosemite Valley. Hopefully, I'll have something in a week or so. Check out the links below if you want to get started. THE DEADLINE FOR FEEDBACK IS NOVEMBER 30TH.

This is the NPS link for information:

Looking for other ways to help? Here is a short list:

• Look over the workbook and post suggestions of good ideas on BetaBase
• Encourage friends and family to do the same
• Spread the word on facebook / twitter / climbing blogs / etc.
• Join the Access Fund
• Donate to the Yosemite Climber's Association
