Yosemite Area Audubon Society

NatureBridge is a non-profit organization based in Yosemite National Park, California, dedicated to connecting young people to the wonder and science of the natural world. Through their overnight, hands-on environmental science programs, they take over 35,000 children and teens each year into national parks to explore the outdoors, connect with their peers, discover themselves, and develop a lasting relationship with the environment. With programs for school groups and summer camps, NatureBridge offers opportunities for students from grades 4-12 to learn scientific concepts firsthand and apply them in real-time while connecting with themselves, each other, and the environment. They also provide retreat spaces and conference centers in Yosemite and other locations, as well as leadership programs and educator development programs. NatureBridge's mission is to ignite self-discovery and inspire stewardship of our planet.Generated from the website

The Central Sierra Environmental Resource Center (CSERC) has been a leading advocate for the protection of over 2,000,000 acres of natural landscapes in the Northern Yosemite region of the Central Sierra Nevada since 1991. They actively work to address various environmental threats such as clearcutting, road construction, development projects, herbicide use, and habitat destruction, while striving to find balanced solutions that meet the diverse needs of stakeholders. CSERC's dedicated team collaborates with local communities and organizations to safeguard forests, rivers, lakes, wetlands, roadless areas, old growth groves, and scenic oak woodlands. Through their efforts, they aim to preserve the region's unique natural resources and promote sustainable practices. With a focus on education, advocacy, and stewardship, CSERC plays a crucial role in protecting the wild places and open spaces that make the Central Sierra Nevada a cherished destination.Generated from the website
