“By definition, YOSAR is greater than the sum of their parts. It combines talented seasonal volunteers (SARsite members) in Yosemite Valley and Tuolumne Meadows with a dedicated and skilled year-around division of workers that focus their attention to keeping park visitors safe. When called upon, YOSAR team members, my neighbors, are committed in their efforts to patrol the trails or to respond to a search and rescue, while knowingly risking their lives for someone in need of emergency care or rescue. This is YOSAR’s mission and I’m honored to support…YOSAR’s courageous work.”
