Program areas at NatureBridge
Naturebridge connects young people to the wonder and science of the natural world, igniting self-discovery and inspiring stewardship of our planet. We deliver hands-on environmental science programs in some of the world's most beautiful classrooms-our national parks. Founded in 1971, our campuses are located in yosemite national park, golden gate national recreation area, olympic national park, prince william forest park, and the nature conservancy's jack and laura dangermond preserve.naturebridge's school & group environmental science programs take young people from all backgrounds out of the classroom and into the outdoors for three- to five-day overnight experiences. With children immersed in the outdoors, scientific principles are brought to life and inspire both in-depth learning and a lifelong connection to nature. Each program is customized to meet individual school groups' academic needs and align with state/national science standards. Optional pre- and post-program classroom visits from Naturebridge educators enable teachers to deepen the impact of the Naturebridge experience throughout and beyond the academic school year.naturebridge provides environmental education programs to a diverse audience including k-12 teachers, teens and families. We also work with leaders in the field of environmental education to advance scientific and social emotional learning nationwide. At the heart of our work is our evidence-based core educational framework, which comprises three themes: sense of place, interconnections and stewardship. Using this one-of-a-kind framework in our range of programs, Naturebridge reaches over 35,000 individuals in a typical year and helps grow the next generation of environmental stewards.
In 2022, Naturebridge made a one-time grant of five buildings to the national park service valued at $25.8m to establish the national environmental science center at yosemite national park. The new center, to be operated by Naturebridge through a long-term cooperative agreement, expands the organization's capacity to provide residential environmental education for students and the community.
