The Yosemite Historic Preservation Crew is a leader in the National Park Service when it comes to training the future generation in traditional skills and trades. Skilled tradespersons train young adults in traditional trades such as masonry, finish carpentry, metallurgy, and other fine trade skills using traditional tools and methods. Staff are trained in preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and reconstruction according to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. The Traditional Trades Advancement Program is a partnership between Yosemite National Park, the Historic Preservation Training Center, and American Conservation Experience to ensure these skills are passed on to our future generations, so that we can properly protect the historic assets we are charged with protecting.
