For over a decade now, Yosemite Facelift has been making a remarkable difference in the amount of trash left behind in Yosemite Valley after the tourist season. The event offers a fun, community-building opportunity to give back to the incomparable Yosemite Valley.

Many participants are surprised to learn how fun it is to pick up trash in Yosemite. Itโ€™s one thing to visit the Valley and take pictures of the scenery, but joining Faceliftโ€™s efforts connects people to the Valley as stewards, not just as tourists.ย 

Come volunteer for an hour or everyday; any amount of time you can spend volunteering is appreciated. In 2018, there were 11,700 volunteer hours logged โ€” this would take one person working full time more than 5.5 years!ย 

Camping spots fill fast; inquire about availability. Keep in mind you arenโ€™t required to camp for the event. Feel free to show up the morning of to pitch in.

Canโ€™t make it to the event? You can help by making a donation, by telling your friends, and by being a good steward cleaning up other areas you love.
