Sierra Club Opposes Secret Yosemite Land Transfer for Private Road

A confidential proposal has emerged that would allow a private developer to use land inside Yosemite National Park to build a road to their own property. The Trump administration is said to have spent over a year pressuring the National Park Service to relinquish this land, sparking fierce opposition from environmental groups like the Sierra Club. Critics argue that carving up one of America’s most iconic protected areas for private gain sets a dangerous precedent. The Sierra Club has called on the administration to abandon the plan and prioritize the integrity of national parks over commercial interests. They emphasize that Yosemite belongs to all Americans and should not be opened for private enterprise.
