Stories from the Field

A Bay area native, NatureBridge alum and avid hiker, board member Meredith Delich has always had a love and appreciation for nature. Today, her educational background and personal passion in sustainability and issues of resource management and climate change have led her to a career in social impact.

At NatureBridge, we show students that scientists do more than just wear white coats in a lab. By introducing young people to the diversity of both scientists and science field work, we hope to inspire a long-lasting connection to the natural world.
