Sierra Nature Notes: The Online Journal of Natural History News in the Sierra Nevada
In the 1920s and continuing into the mid-60s, the Yosemite Association published Yosemite Nature Notes which was sent to Yosemite park visitors who, after they returned home, still wanted to keep informed about the natural history of Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada mountains. The last decade has seen a huge increase for research being done throughout the Sierra. There has recently been an almost panicked realization by both land management agencies and the scientific community that, in spite of the protection of National Parks and Forests, a number of species are declining for unknown reasons. Much of this research effort is to not only search for causes, but to quickly establish a baseline of what is there now so that future problems can be more quickly noted and solutions found. Keeping these views in perspective, the objectives of the Sierra Notes is to publish the news of the latest research discoveries, perils, and hope for the future for the Yosemite Park and the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
The goal of Sierra Nature Notes is to publish the latest research articles pertaining to various concerns, problems and issues of the Yosemite Valley and of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It is not a peer-review scientific journal, however, contributors to this electronic media are leading scientists and historians conducting their research in Yosemite. This on-line journal is an excellent source to check the Sierra Links, news, current events, and research regarding the various issues of the Sierra Nevada mountains and of the Yosemite Valley.
