Staff Spotlight

In 2018, NatureBridge Olympic Science and Education Manager Chris Morgan won the Baxter Award—an internal grant that aims to promote personal growth, adventure and the professional development of NatureBridge staff. Chris’s proposal was two-fold: experience the deep wilderness of the Brooks Range and the great migration of the Porcupine Caribou Herd.

At 76, Ingrid is NatureBridge’s oldest—and arguably most iconic—environmental science educator. As we celebrate Women's History Month, we're highlighting Ingrid's contributions to both the San Francisco and NatureBridge communities in which she serves.

This year’s recipient of the Outstanding Affiliate Organization Award is the California Association for Environmental and Outdoor Education (AEOE), an affiliate at which two NatureBridge members play a critical and influential role—Estrella Risinger and Reed Schneider.

After completing the Educator Development Program in Yosemite National Park this summer, Dana Delos Santos moved back east to be an educator at our Prince William Forest campus where she enjoys connecting city youth to the outdoors for the first time.

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."

After more than three years as the Director of Finance and Technology at NatureBridge, Mitch Holmer has stepped into the role of Chief Financial Officer.

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!

NatureBridge educator Caleb Savage has taught at both our Prince William and Olympic campuses. He believes in the power of disconnecting from technology and making connections in the outdoors.

Have you ever wondered how a NatureBridge educator spends their day teaching students in the field? We recently had the opportunity to follow Golden Gate educator Marley Pierce and her Soulsbyville Elementary School sixth graders
