PLEASE RESPECT AND APPRECIATE YOSEMITE’S WILD PLACES AND THEIR INHABITANTS BY DOING THE FOLLOWING:
1. Store food properly to prevent bears and other wildlife from obtaining unnatural food.
2. Do not feed wildlife or disturb wildlife by approaching too closely (typically 50 yards).
3. Avoid damaging live trees, flowers, and other plants.
4. Do not plant or transport the seeds of non-native plants in Yosemite. The Division of Resources Management and Science is actively trying to control or eradicate non-native invasive plant species from Yosemite.
5. Minimize use and impact from fires.
6. Do not bring firewood from outside the area into the park. This is to protect Yosemite from pathogens, such as Sudden Oak Death, and from the introduction of insect infestations.
7. Leave natural objects and cultural artifacts for others to enjoy.
8. Drive the speed limit and pay attention while driving on park roads to reduce the chances of injuring wildlife.
LIVING IN A NATIONAL PARK IS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE AND A PRIVILEGe;
Please respect the Wilderness and Wildlife that we are guests to.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) defines both a value and a practice for connecting the public to the National Park Service’s (NPS) mission of preserving our nation’s natural and cultural heritage. In order to remain relevant in a constantly evolving society, the NPS must continuously increase the attention placed on DEIA principles and practices in all aspects of agency operations. Yosemite National Park serves the public on such a grand scale and in such a significant way, and therefore has a disproportionately large responsibility to meet the needs of contemporary American society.
Health & Safety
The Yosemite Office of Safety & Occupational Health Office is designed to keep all employees of Yosemite National Park free from occupational injuries and illnesses. The Office of Safety & Occupational Health is here to help Park employees understand the safety policies and how they will protect you.
