I’M READY

GO BIG.I was lucky. I was the 4-H kid who grew up on a ranch. My father took me tromping through orchards and swimming in lakes.

My connection to our natural world is a critical part of my life, and providing these kinds of connections to our next generation is one of the greatest contributions society can provide. Not everyone can grow up like me—with a rural backdrop and a built-in relationship to the outdoors. But I’m a firm believer that everyone can become environmentally literate. And NatureBridge is the organization to take us there.

For more than 40 years NatureBridge has connected children and teens to nature through compelling programs in some of the most magnificent outdoor classrooms—our national parks.

We have programs in six iconic parks across the country, where, each year, around 30,000 students attend environmental science programs. From tracking plant growth cycles and climate change impact in Golden Gate National Recreation Area to monitoring the recovery of the Elwha River in Olympic National Park, students dig into real science in incredible places.

This year we’re announcing an even deeper commitment to our next generation of conservationists. Not only are we dedicated to our hands-on environmental science programs, we’re expanding our goals to make sure environmental connections reach more kids, more often.

How? One way is through spearheading ChangeScale, a transformative San Francisco Bay Area collaborative that aligns environmental education agendas across organizations (see story on page 7).

Together, we’ve become a unified front—reaching more people than ever before and collectively working to ensure that every kid has a NatureBridge-like experience, whether that’s with us or with someone else.

Our new mission statement is a resounding tribute to this broader agenda: We foster environmental literacy to sustain our planet.Because of your continued support, NatureBridge is a national force for positive change.

Thank you for helping to foster lifelong scientists and the environmental leaders of tomorrow.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD: FALL IN YOSEMITEIt’s fall. Yosemite Valley is ablaze in jubilant gold.

Today I am back on trail with Saklan School, the first NatureBridge group in the valley since the government shutdown, and they are pretty darn excited to be here.

“Steller’s jay!” someone exclaims, and the entire trail group races to a nearby tree, eagerly looking for their new mohawk-sporting avian friend.

So we hike. And talk. Take notes and learn about more birds. Midafternoon we go to Tenaya Creek to do some water-quality monitoring—examining turbidity and nitrate levels as well as the quality of skipping rocks on the premises.

We discuss how grateful we are to be back in the national park. I ask the group: “Why are national parks important?”

And the reasons are as different as the students who utter them:

“They make learning awesome!”

“By coming to Yosemite, we get to explore the world and discover for ourselves what life is really like.”

“In school you can’t experience living science. Here you can experience it, and you can learn social things, too!”

Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell helps a NatureBridge student examine a macroinvertebrate that lives in the piedmont forest of Prince William Forest Park.

In October 2013, a partial shutdown of the U.S. government closed national parks across the country and caused hundreds of students’ NatureBridge programs to be cut short, rescheduled, or canceled. NatureBridge worked closely with our schools and parks throughout the shutdown to provide alternate programs wherever possible.

“ There is nothing more important to sustaining ourselves and our planet than getting kids outside to learn, be active, and connect with the world around them—and I know that NatureBridge is playing an important role in making that happen.” — Sally Jewell, United States Secretary of the Interior

IT STARTED OVER CHINESE FOOD. A trio of thought leaders—a practitioner, a funder, and a researcher in environmental education—began talking about something bigger. About the possibility of collective impact. About igniting a movement to ready the leaders of tomorrow.

Two years later, nine influential Bay Area organizations are partners in ChangeScale, the pioneering collaborative that aims to ensure that every generation is inspired with the environmental know-how to create healthy communities and a healthy planet.

This fall, ChangeScale’s strategic plan was unveiled, and now action is underway; a community meetup event even attracted more than 150 people.

“ Frankly? Environmental education can’t be a ‘nice to have’ anymore,” said Jason Morris, executive vice president of NatureBridge and Chinese dinner attendee.

“ It must be a ‘must have,’ and together we can make that happen.”

According to Morris, and research on the topic, seven or eight profound experiences are needed in childhood to build environmental know-how.

“ NatureBridge takes children and teens to Yosemite for a week, but that’s not enough,” said Morris.

“ The Bay Area is chock full of great organizations and world-class thinkers. We’re obligated to build relationships with our colleagues and ensure that other environmental experiences take place as kids grow up.”

That’s what ChangeScale is all about. It works to inclusively develop a shared agenda to integrate environmental education into formal and informal settings throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

It aims to:

– Build and sustain connected learning opportunities—or pathways—so that kids and teens develop environmental know-how. – Integrate research into pathway design. – Help educators increase capacity for collaboration.

And more.

Carol Olson, a strategic advisor for the project, said the project is the most important thing happening in the Bay Area education arena.

“ Issues facing environmental education are so complex that no one organization can tackle them,” she said.

“ We need everyone to come together, which—amazingly—we’ve done. And now ChangeScale can provide greater impact and serve as a model across the country.”

BREAKING NEW GROUNDIn 2016, NatureBridge will open the National Environmental Education Center at Yosemite National Park—a new and permanent center of education, research, and collaboration, complete with a breathtaking view.

Construction planning was thoughtful—considering impacts like nesting seasons for birds—and the facility is anticipated to be LEED and net zero energy certified.

With the center, NatureBridge will more than triple the current capacity for year-round field programs. Grounds will include cabins, classrooms, a library, laboratories, a dining hall, bathhouses, space for administrative work, staff housing, and a firehouse.

“This center shines as a science education beacon of excellence—regionally and nationally,” said Stephen Lockhart, NatureBridge board member. “But most importantly, it will serve as a life-changing classroom to educate the next generation of stewards of our planet.”

With generous support from The McConnell Foundation, S. D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation, The Kendeda Fund, Matthew A. Baxter, Eucalyptus Foundation, and others, almost half of the $59 million project fundraising goal has already been reached.
