Yosemite Environmental Education Center
Yosemite Environmental Education Center
For more than 35 years, NatureBridge’s Yosemite Institute has delivered residential environmental education programs in Yosemite National Park. The Institute operates an Environmental Education Center at Crane Flat under a cooperative agreement with Yosemite National Park. The campus is comprised of old buildings and structures that have been assembled over time and were not originally designed for educational purposes.
A Permanent Home for Environmental Education
The National Park Service’s unwavering commitment to providing environmental education in Yosemite has enabled Yosemite Institute to be successful at the old Crane Flat campus, despite many ongoing challenges. It is this same commitment that will now ensure that environmental education has a permanent home in Yosemite National Park.
In 2002, the National Park Service and NatureBridge began work on a plan for a new Environmental Education Center that would ensure the future of residential environmental education in Yosemite National Park. In April 2010, a record of decision was received in favor of the new center to be built at Henness Ridge.
The new center will provide a permanent home for environmental education in Yosemite National Park and will enable Yosemite Institute to provide improved and expanded educational opportunities for its students.
