Yosemite Fire Management Plan Amendment

Yosemite National Park is updating its Fire Management Plan to incorporate changes to guidance on federal wildland fire policy. The updated plan will allow the park to make decisions based on science, weather, and local concerns rather than geographic zones. A fact sheet, revised fire management unit map (topographic and greyscale versions), and EIS errata sheets are included below to identify the necessary changes to the park's Fire Management Plan to allow fire managers to apply the flexibility provided in current federal wildland fire policy.

Following this public comment period, the park anticipates completing a categorical exclusion per the National Environmental Policy Act to amend the Fire Management Plan/EIS, implementing the Community Protection Strategy in summer 2017.
