Yosemite isn’t negotiable.

Today we learned that Federal officials are considering either transferring a quarter-mile strip of land inside Yosemite National Park or granting an easement across it so a private developer can build a road connecting an undeveloped 83-acre property to the park. No final decision has been made.

The moment any part of Yosemite becomes negotiable, the meaning of “protected” changes everywhere.

Yosemite belongs to no company, administration, or generation. It belongs to the American people, & to generations who cannot yet speak for themselves.

Our public lands are among the few places where we can stand together, look beyond our differences, & remember what we share. They’re our common ground - in every sense.

We inherited these places because Americans before us chose stewardship over convenience & permanence over profit. Now that responsibility belongs to us.

The measure of a nation isn’t only what it builds, but what it refuses to sacrifice. Let this be a moment that brings us together, to protect the places that unite us & pass them forward whole.

No transfer. No easement. Not one inch.

Park rangers are protectors, explainers, hosts, caretakers, people who are expected to be knowledgeable, helpful, courteous, and professional: people who find you when you’re lost, help you when you’re hurt, rescue you when you’re stuck, and enforce the law when you or others can’t abide by it.
