Stories from the Field

In this week's Lessons From the Field, we hear from John Conant of NatureBridge at Golden Gate on all things ethnobotany and the importance of respecting and understanding the deeply rooted traditions associated with the plants of the Marin Headlands.

Each summer, two NatureBridge educators lead a group of young women on a 12-day backpacking adventure in Yosemite's High Sierra. This year marks the 20th season of Armstrong Scholars and we’re thrilled to introduce our 2019 program leaders: Yosemite Educator Lizzie Hoerauf and Golden Gate Educator Melissa Gayle!

In this week's Lessons From the Field, NatureBridge Operations Manager Jenn Peach takes us through the Happy Isles Fen—a rare example of a fen ecosystem in the Yosemite Valley.
