White House Considers Land Swap for Road Inside Yosemite

The Trump administration is reportedly evaluating a land swap that would give a private developer a small parcel inside Yosemite National Park so a road can be built to connect the developer's adjacent 83-acre property to the park interior. Officials have not released details on the size of the park land or the terms of the exchange, and the proposal is expected to undergo environmental review and public comment. Conservation groups have voiced concern that the move could set a precedent for future private development within protected lands.
