The National Park Service in the United States will mark its one hundredth anniversary in

2016. As it nears its second century, the Park Service plans to increase its educational programs for students and teachers.

The plans include transportation support for one hundred thousand students each year to visit

national parks to learn about nature and history. Yellowstone is

believed to have been the world’s first national park when it was

established in 1872. Other students will get a chance to see parks

in faraway places through Skype and other online programs.

The National Park Service also works with partners to provide

education. One of its partners is a nonprofit organization called Nature Bridge. It is celebrating

its fortieth anniversary and says one million young people have taken part in its programs. The

organization works with students from kindergarten through twelfth grade and uses national parks

as its classrooms. It provides field science programs at Yosemite National Park and four other

locations in California and the northwestern state of Washington.

Now, Nature Bridge is launching an East Coast center with a four-million-dollar grant from

Google. The program will begin in April at the Prince William Forest Park in Virginia. Students

stay for three to five days in Nature Bridge programs. The activities are aimed at developing

their science skills. For example, they learn about different soils and study water quality under

a microscope. Jason Morris is executive vice president of Nature Bridge. He says when they are

not sleeping, eating or in a laboratory, the students spend their time outdoors.

Julia Washburn is associate director of education and interpretation for the National Park

Service. She says in a time of budget cuts, the agency has to find ways to still meet its goals.

And one of the most important services that the Park Services provide every day is nature

interpretation.
