The Ahwahnee Meadow Ecological Restoration Project (Phase I) project will restore the Ahwahnee Meadow to natural meadow conditions and enhance its condition as a contributing site in the Yosemite Valley Historic District nomination. The project will remove an abandoned road on the east edge of the meadow that currently functions as an informal trail, replace the informal trail in the adjacent forested area, remove imported fill from the southwest corner to restore meadow habitat, fill drainage ditches to restore natural hydrologic patterns, and remove encroaching conifers from the meadow.
