About Us
We envision a world where every student learns about the science of nature, is inspired by its beauty, and is motivated to take action to protect the natural world.
About Us
40 years is just the beginning
We brought our first students to Yosemite National Park in 1971.
Forty years later, more than 30,000 K-12 students from more than 600 schools participate in our 3-5 day field science programs each year in Yosemite National Park, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Olympic National Park, Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, and Channel Islands National Park.
Access for all students is fundamental
In 40 years we’ve introduced 1 million young people to the science and wonder of nature in the world’s best classrooms—our national parks.
Annually, more than 1 million dollars in NatureBridge scholarships ensures that diverse students from underserved urban and rural communities experience the magic of living and learning in our national parks.
Our educators are the best
Our field science educators are our heroes. They are among the best in the world and are the reason we are so good at what we do. Many have advanced degrees and bring with them a wide range of professional experience including classroom teaching, outdoor education, and scientific research.
Based on a solid foundation
We’ve been leaders in environmental education for 40 years. And we’re ready for whatever the next 40 years brings.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit we rely on generous donations to support scholarships, the development of new curricula, and program enhancements. But more than 70 percent of our income is earned through our field science programs as well as conference and family programs that subsidize our mission.
We’re ready to do more. And we’re ready for you to join us.
