Stories from the Field
An Alcoa Science Symposium in the Yosemite Valley
At the close of last week's Yosemite Alcoa Scholars program, our Scholars greeted Yosemite Visitors, National Park Service Staff and NatureBridge guests as they showcased their Fire Ecology modules at a Science Symposium held in the Yosemite Valley.
Yosemite Alcoa Scholars in the Backcountry
On Tuesday afternoon, our 33 Yosemite Alcoa Scholars and their six NatureBridge educators returned to Crane Flat campus after six exciting days in the backcountry. Though their routes were all different, each trail group hiked through beautiful areas of the Yosemite Wilderness.
Board Spotlight: Meredith Delich
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.
Meet the Scientists
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.
Closing Celebrations & Science Investigation Presentations for Olympic Alcoa Session Two
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.
