Yosemite Facelift, a volunteer park cleanup, is an annual celebration of community and conservation set against the breathtaking backdrop of Yosemite National Park. Now in its 20th year, this event has evolved into a cornerstone of environmental stewardship, attracting thousands of volunteers from diverse backgrounds.

Held in the heart of Yosemite Valley, this event is a must-attend for anyone passionate about preserving natural beauty. Whether you are an avid outdoorsperson, a family looking for a meaningful activity, or simply someone who cares deeply about the environment, Yosemite Facelift offers a unique opportunity to make a difference.

Expect a week of collective action, camaraderie, and inspiration. Volunteers will spread across multiple sites within the park, removing trash and debris, and contributing to the preservation of Yosemite’s pristine landscapes. The event includes additional activities such as panels, concerts, and raffles, along with camping facilities for participants.

Founded by Ken Yager of the Yosemite Climbing Association, this initiative has seen remarkable growth since its inception in 2003, with over 28,000 volunteers contributing nearly 300,000 hours and removing more than 1 million pounds of waste.
