March 2022 - Scoping Newsletter

The National Park Service invites the public to help refine a vision for the future of Mt Wanda and soon to be acquired adjacent lands. The national historic site is seeking further public input on proposals that will guide resource protection and visitor experiences into the future. The Mt. Wanda planning area is a 370-acre part of the historic Martinez ranch where John Muir lived. At Mt. Wanda, visitors can walk in John Muir's footsteps as they explore, research, and appreciate the wildness of this inspirational landscape. The plan for Mt. Wanda will identify new visitor opportunities and functions, facility needs and resource management strategies, while improving the connectivity of Mt. Wanda to other areas of the park and the broader community.
