2024 Fall Gathering

Event Details
Join us for a friendly gathering and overnight stay at the North Cascades Environmental Learning Center Saturday, Sept 7 - Sunday, Sept 8.
Enjoy mingling with long-time and new Institute supporters while we transition from summer into fall programming at the Learning Center. We’ll have appetizers, beer & wine and a simple buffet dinner Saturday night followed by an engaging and fun presentation from North Cascades National Park biologist Roger Christophersen.
Roger’s “Room to Roam” presentation focuses on current and historical wildlife research and monitoring projects—including wolves, pikas, marmots, bats, wolverines, loons, bears, and fishers. He’s been on the frontlines of wildlife work in the Park for over 30 years and looks forward to sharing stories and highlights with you.
On Sunday, we'll enjoy a delicious breakfast with the option to join an Institute instructor afterward to learn about animal adaptations and see our skull collection. You’ll get a great glimpse into some of the things we explore in Mountain School, our 5th grade program that restarts in mid-September.
Additionally, guests can choose to register for the Diablo Lake Fall Morning Cruise with Skagit Tours at 11 am, $30-35. Find details about the cruise here.
