Yosemite 48-72 (1986-2010)

Yosemite was the quarterly journal of the Yosemite Association (YA). YA changed its name in 1986 from the Yosemite Natural History Association. In 2010 YA merged with the Yosemite Fund to become the Yosemite Conservancy. Unfortunately, publication of Yosemite halted along with the merger. See also Yosemite’s predecessor, Yosemite Nature Notes.
