Trump Administration Presses to Carve Yosemite Land for Private Road, Sierra Club Responds

Over the past year, the Trump administration has quietly urged the National Park Service to relinquish a portion of land inside Yosemite National Park. The goal is to allow a private developer to construct a road that would link the developer’s property to the park. The proposal, described as secret, would carve a path through one of America’s most treasured national parks. The Sierra Club has publicly condemned the plan, arguing that it undermines the park’s integrity and public value. The move highlights a broader debate over private access to protected lands.
