Family Weekend The National Park Service, Forest Service, and Yosemite Concessions Service with the generous support of the Yosemite Fund are collaborating on a weekend event to bring WildLink, Generation Green, and Environmental Science Academy alumni to Yosemite for a weekend of fun and learning in Yosemite. WildLink Family Weekend will take place on February 24 and 25, 2001. During this weekend reunion, families will have a chance to explore Yosemite, its rich cultural history, job opportunities in the park and neighboring forests, and HAVE FUN in this unique natural wonder that belongs to us all. We are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the alumni and their families! Join our Campfire We here at WildLink are pleased to announce a new feature to the WildLink website. We have established online discussion boards in the campfire section of the website, for students and the general public. As of now, both campfire chats are secure and require registration. Please register yourself for the campfire and start chatting with your peers! Expedition IV WildLink Expedition IV will take place from March 25-30, 2001.

Yosemite Winter Literary Conference Contest We received many strong entries for the Yosemite Association sponsored Yosemite Winter Literary Conference to be held from February 25 - March 1. A panel of judges from the Yosemite community has reviewed the entries and selected the top three. The winning piece was submitted by the student-teacher team of Aaron and Suzanne of Golden Valley High School. Please view their Power Point presentation: A Spiritual, Philosophical, and Realistic Approach to the Sierra Nevada. The second place entry, also from Golden Valley High School, The Exalted Sierra Nevada, comes from the student-teacher team of Tandrea and Gail. The Sierra Nevada Mountains, our third place entry, was created by the local student-teacher team of Allison and Michelle of Yosemite Park High School. We would like to thank all of the student-teacher teams who submitted entries for their enthusiasm and creativity! Stay tuned to the campfire section of the WildLink website for correspondance from Aaron and Suzanne as they participate in the First Annual Yosemite Winter Literary Conference later this month!
