Groveland Facelift
Volunteer and help clean-up trails, roads, and public spaces during the annual Groveland Facelift on September 13th! Registration is open.
Yosemite Facelift was created and launched in Yosemite by the Yosemite Climbing Association (YCA) 22 years ago to inspire clean-up events and to galvanize volunteer stewardship in local parks and open spaces. Groveland Facelift came about when gathering for the annual event in Yosemite was suspended due to the pandemic and to encourage the community of passionate volunteers to go out into their own communities and make an impact.
This year Groveland Facelift event partners, Yosemite Climbing Association, Visit Tuolumne County, ECHO Adventure Cooperative, Evergreen Lodge, Rush Creek Lodge, Firefall Ranch, Stanislaus National Forest, and Groveland Trail Heads, and the Groveland Community Services District, and Tuolumne County Public Works invite you to participate in this 4th annual event.
Several Yosemite gateway partners are offering exciting incentives to those who volunteer and help with the clean-up:

Overnight guests of Rush Creek Lodge & Spa, Evergreen Lodge, or Firefall Ranch who volunteer at either the Groveland Facelift or Yosemite Facelift will receive complimentary Spa Day Use at Rush Creek Spa and a complimentary magnesium foot soak that day.
