Our mission is to connect young people to the wonder and science of the natural world, igniting self-discovery and inspiring stewardship of our planet.

Founded in 1971, NatureBridge provides environmental science programs for students in the world’s best classrooms—our national parks. As the largest residential education partner of the National Park Service, NatureBridge serves more than 30,000 students and their teachers each year in four national parks.

We operate in four beautiful national park locations across the United States: Golden Gate Recreation Area (Sausalito, CA), Olympic National Park (Port Angeles, WA), Prince William Forest Park (Triangle, VA) and Yosemite National Park (El Portal, Ca).
