About NatureBridge We believe environmental education should be a part of every child’s life. When we take students outside into the world around them, they experience remarkable personal growth, improved interpersonal skills, and increased academic ability. Founded in 1971, NatureBridge welcomes more than 650 schools and 40,000 participants each year to our six campuses where they are immersed in the wonder and science of nature. In our first 47 years, we have provided life-changing experiences to over one million participants. NatureBridge has been providing three- to five-day residential environmental education programs at our campuses in the Santa Monica Mountains and Channel Islands since 2010. We now welcome nearly 3,000 4th- 12th grade students from over 50 schools to our environmental science programs aligned with state, federal, and Next Generation Science Standards. The majority of our students attend our programs with donor-funded scholarship support.

Why As an event sponsor, you will join other prominent business and community leaders who support our life-changing work. Moving Mountains guests are high-net worth individuals from LA, many of whom are leaders in the banking, finance and entertainment industries. All are passionate environmentalists who care deeply about helping kids develop a lifelong connection to the natural world. The funds we raise on this night will keep our programs accessible to schools and provide needed scholarship dollars to underserved students in the area. We are dedicated to getting every kid outside to learn in the nature’s best classrooms—our national parks!
