Awesome blog post from Parks California highlighting our 2024 Student of the Year Kai Diaz 😊 Congratulations, Kai!
"Working for California State Parks is the most influential way to give back to my community and help inspire others. There is nothing better than being able to work outdoors and knowing what I do matters." - Kai Diaz NatureBridge's student of the year, 20-year-old Kai, always felt a calling to the outdoors but it wasn't until a high school fieldtrip that they felt more connected to nature. They now work as a park aid for the California State Parks in Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park and recently graduated with an A.S. in Forestry.

There's so much to discover at Coastal Camp this summer! Campers from the California Newts group collected insects and macroinvertebrates from the creek as part of our Headlands Habitat session. 🐛 🐞 🐜 #outdoorlearning #NatureEducation #EnvironmentalStewardship #NatureLovers #YouthInNature #ExploreOutdoors #SustainableFuture #HandsOnLearning #NatureConservation #ProtectOurParks
On June 21, NatureBridge Olympic staff released 129 coho salmon fry into the Clallam River to begin the next phase of their journey. These young salmon have called our Olympic campus home since early February, when they arrived as tiny eggs from Hurd Creek Hatchery. NatureBridge staff and students attentively cared for the fry through the spring season as the coho developed and grew large enough to be released into the wild. Keep on swimming, little salmon! 🐟 #outdoorlearning #NatureEducation #EnvironmentalStewardship #NatureLovers #YouthInNature #ExploreOutdoors #SustainableFuture #HandsOnLearning #NatureConservation #ProtectOurParks

This year, we received an unprecedented number of applicants for our annual Student of the Year award, and we were honored to hear the stories they had to share about their experiences at NatureBridge. We would like to recognize one of our 2024 runners-up, eighth grader Nina Mao from San Jose, CA, who attended NatureBridge Golden Gate with her class from Stratford School Palo Alto in 2023. At NatureBridge, Nina and her classmates explored marine ecosystems, encountered a breathtaking view of the Golden Gate Bridge from Hawk Hill, and learned that “new doesn’t mean bad.” Nina is one of the thousands of young people who has been impacted by their time at NatureBridge and who continue to inspire those around them with their commitment to our planet.
