Join the 12th Annual Apple Picking in Yosemite Valley. Participants in the volunteer event will remove apples growing in historic orchards. Presence of these apples attracts bears to developed areas and alters their natural diets.

Help keep Yosemite’s bears wild! Call (209) 379-1850 for information or check out the schedule of events.
