is a nonprofit organization
called
NatureBridge.
NatureBridge 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, NatureBridge is launching an East Coast center with a
fourmilliondollar 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 NatureBridge 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, executive vice president of NatureBridge 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 Service provides every day is nature interpretation. 文章大意:本文主要讲了美国的国家公司管理局计划为学生和老师提供更多的教育项目,用来帮助他们在公园了解自然和历史,并学习科学技能。 1.The text is intended to tell us that ________.
