Using the anniversaries of Yosemite National Park and the National Park Service as a framework, this initiative brought environmental-education programs to schools in Yosemite’s gateway communities to inspire the next generation of park stewards. With your support in 2015, the third year of this four-year effort, thousands of students from all grades participated in ranger-led education programs, attended special events, including the park’s 125th anniversary celebration, and learned about the value of environmental stewardship.
Your gift helped Yosemite continue to build strong relationships with local schools and communities while engaging a new generation of park visitors in the legacy of preserving public lands.
Completed in partnership with Yosemite National Park, NatureBridge and additional Yosemite gateway youth programs.
