Yosemite Valley was home to the Ahwahneechee people for thousands of years. The Native American tribe is also responsible for the valley\u2019s name. The Yosemite Act of 1890 officially recognised the area as a national park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Known for its dramatic landscape of granite cliffs, giant sequoia groves, lakes, glaciers, and waterfalls, almost 95% of Yosemite is classified as wilderness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yosemite Conservancy Chief Development Officer Marion Ingersoll notes,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWork funded by the Conservancy is widely visible throughout the park, in trail rehabilitation, wildlife protection, habitat restoration, and education programs for people of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe also create opportunities for people from all over the world to connect with the park through our outdoor adventures, volunteer programs, and bookstores. And we are delighted to have the generous support of AnswerConnect for Yosemite this month.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/answerconnect-blog\/1\/2023\/01\/Photo-of-famous-liff-and-waterfall-in-Yosemite-national-park-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of famous waterfall and lake in Yosemite National Park\" class=\"wp-image-10840\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@anik3t?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aniket Deole<\/a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/yosemite-national-park?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hester McQueen, Head of Mattering at AnswerConnect, said:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re proud to support Yosemite Conservancy.
