Stories from the Field

Prince William Forest Park (PRWI) has so much to offer the students who visit it, particularly in terms of natural features for exploring and the park’s close connection to the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. During the trail days with students, it is not unusual for us to spend a good part of the day hiking.

As we reflect on an informative and fun-filled evening, we want to recognize Van Ness Feldman, one of our many Evening on the Lake sponsors.

Last week’s annual Evening on the Lake event in Seattle exemplified the generosity of our many incredible sponsors. One such sponsor, LOGE Camps, has a mission that aligns very closely with the NatureBridge mission of igniting self-discovery and inspiring stewardship of the planet by connecting young people to the natural world.

Last November, NatureBridge educator Kathryn Braddock captured in words the beauty of the change of seasons at our Prince William Forest Park campus. In the following blog post, she explores the connection between art and nature - through the eyes of her students.

Winter storms may have closed roads and canceled flights across much of the Pacific Northwest and Sierra Nevada mountain range last month, but that didn’t stop our dedicated NatureBridge staff and outdoor educators from connecting young people to the science and wonder of the natural world.

Here at NatureBridge (where I met my partner in love and adventure in 1992) I continue to find people who are interested in joining me for some wacky and not always fun - but always eventful - excursions.

NatureBridge is fortunate to have the support of numerous organizations that share our vision and passion for our mission. As we gear up for our annual Evening on the Lake event in Seattle, we’d like to highlight Michael Doyle Properties, one of the evening’s many generous sponsors.

We’re thrilled to welcome Chuck Ritter to the NatureBridge family. Chuck joined the Olympic Board in January 2019 and we recently sat down with him to learn more about him and his connection to NatureBridge.

After the Woolsey Fire severely damaged NatureBridge's program sites in the Santa Monica Mountains, NatureBridge worked with many Southern California schools to transfer their program to our Yosemite campus. This is the success story of one of those schools.
