(PRESS RELEASE) BUFFALO, NY, 2025-May-21 — /Travel PR News/ — Delaware North, through its properties Tenaya at Yosemite and Yosemite 360 Tours in Fish Camp, Calif., is continuing its commitment to environmental stewardship by adopting two sections of Highway 41. This scenic route, leading thousands of visitors each year to Yosemite National Park, is now part of Delaware North’s efforts to preserve the natural beauty of the area.

As part of the California Adopt-A-Highway program, team members from Tenaya and Yosemite 360 Tours will regularly clean several miles of Highway 41, just outside Yosemite’s South Entrance. This initiative is a reflection of the growing trend of local businesses taking responsibility for their environmental impact and contributing to the overall experience for those visiting national parks.

Team members from Tenaya at Yosemite and Yosemite 360 Tours, both owned and operated by Delaware North, recently spent time cleaning up two sections of Highway 41, near the entrance to Yosemite National Park, as part of the California Adopt-A-Highway program.

“As a gateway to Yosemite, we want the first impression visitors have to reflect the beauty and integrity of the park,” said Kat Breish, tours coordinator for Yosemite 360 Tours. “By keeping the highway clean, we’re not only enhancing the visual landscape, but we’re also helping to protect wildlife, reduce fire risk, and preserve the natural environment that so many come here to enjoy.”

The cleanup initiative is especially important as visitation to Yosemite continues to increase. Programs like this help protect the park’s pristine environment while ensuring that the park remains a natural oasis for visitors. Yosemite 360 Tours, which offers guests convenient access to the park’s iconic sights and trails, aims to further educate visitors about the importance of preserving Yosemite’s unique environment.
