Environmental Science

We caught up with 2018 NatureBridge Student of the Year, Marisa Granados, an environmental steward and climate activist who is already accomplishing big things.

Next month, NatureBridge's very own Amy Osborne will venture to Antarctica to conduct field research with the PolarTREC program! Learn more about what she's calling the "opportunity of a lifetime."

This summer, NatureBridge welcomed 63 Alcoa Scholars to national park campuses. For two weeks, students immersed themselves in the natural world to discover, collaborate, investigate and backpack in these two national parks rich with history, unique biodiversity and beautiful, remote wilderness.

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.

While in the backcountry, Alcoa Scholars collaborated to design and implement a science investigation. As a part of the closing celebrations, each group shared the results of their research in a short presentation. 

This week we welcomed 33 Alcoa Scholars to our Crane Flat Campus in Yosemite National Park. Read about what they've been up to as they prepare for backpacking and science investigations in the backcountry!

On Tuesday afternoon, the second session of Olympic Alcoa Scholars returned to Lake Crescent ready to take a shower and share their stories from the backcountry. Discover what they learned!

On Sunday we welcomed another 10 Alcoa Scholars to our Lake Crescent campus in Olympic! Read all about what session two of Olympic Alcoa Scholars have been up to at Barnes Point.
