NatureBridge

Our take

NatureBridge connects young people to the wonder and science of the natural world through overnight, hands-on environmental science programs based in national parks including Yosemite, Golden Gate, Olympic, and Prince William Forest. It brings more than 30,000 students a year into the outdoors, with scholarship and equity programs aimed at reaching kids who would otherwise never sleep under park skies. This is the direct antidote to nature-deficit disorder: first-hand wonder as the seed of lifelong stewardship.
