Yosemite's NatureBridge Program (formerly Yosemite Institute) is an esteemed
environmental education program providing hands-on science experiences.
Students develop skills in studying the ecology, geology, hydrology,
cultural history and stewardship practices in the park.  

NatureBridge sponsors and facilitates the monthly “Project Pluton” program
for our 4th-6th grade students. Our students, along with the 4th-6th graders from Yosemite Valley & El Portal schools,
spend one day each month learning from NatureBridge's expert
environmental educators and working in groups to dive deeper into the scientific, historic and
​cultural importance of Yosemite National Park.
