Accomplishments & Reports
Together, we inspire and empower environmental stewardship for all through transformative educational experiences in nature. What does this look like on the ground? These program reports show a few examples of how you are making a difference with your support:
2018 Mountain School Report
(pdf) Mountain School is our 29-year-old residential education program at the Environmental Learning Center in the heart of North Cascades National Park. Over 3 days, students spend 26 hours learning about ecological communities with their classmates, teachers, and parent chaperones. Hands-on, interdisciplinary experiences connect students to the natural and cultural history of our watershed. For most, this is the first time they visit a national park, spend a night away from home, and discover the connections between their lives, communities, and the environment.
2018 Mt. Baker Snow School Report
(pdf) Mt. Baker Snow School fosters connections between mountain snowpack and our watershed health. The alpine heights of Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest become a living laboratory—blending citizen science, environmental education, and recreation. Local middle school classes explore on snowshoes, led by Western Washington University (WWU) interns, Institute M.Ed. students, and climate scientists.
2018 Youth Leadership Report
(pdf) Youth Leadership Adventures is a progression of transformational learning experiences, designed for local underserved youth to jump-start lifelong engagement with nature, stewardship, and community. Primary activities are 8-day Outdoor Leadership and 12-day Science and Sustainability Summer Courses in North Cascades National Park and Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Next-step opportunities allow participants to put newly gained skills into action.
