Natural Bridges Docents

Martha is an incredibly passionate interpreter with a near encyclopedic knowledge of interpretive projects, programs, events, and history in the Santa Cruz District.  Having worked at Natural Bridges State Beach and numerous prior public outdoor spaces with NPS and State in interpretation for decades, Martha is excellent at designing experiences which support visitors to engage with Natural Bridges State Beach. 

Martha grew up tidepooling at NB and now all over the world. She likes to spend her off-time learning new habitats, international folk dancing, singing in the 5 Ms band, flying planes with Mark, camping.

Lily's a specialist in the coastal side of our park, but is still in touch with the our terrestrial natural history. She attended UCSC for Marine Biology, and spent class time at Año Nuevo tagging and collecting data on elephant seals. Between classes at the UCSC Coastal Science Campus, she was scurrying down to the Natural Bridges tidepools to explore. Lily is a fan of the great outdoors, but also enjoys a good cup of tea, learning new crafts and watching nature documentaries.
