Third time’s a charm. After two previous attempts, finally summited Mt. Adams this morning. And of course, upon reaching the second highest peak of the Pacific Northwest, waiting for me was a spectacular view of the highest. Fuck you, Mt. Rainier.

Today’s school consisted of more wet on wet painting after we read a few books with winter landscapes and Scandinavian illustration. We had multiple conversations through the day of how people celebrate and prepare for winter around the world. And then the kids painted! I absolutely love how they create really beautiful and expressive paintings. We seriously need to have an art gallery for everything they have made this year! Stay. Tuned for pictures. I taught them how to make “speckled stars” in their winter landscape paintings. 😊 #kidart #homeschool #homestudio #messykids #happykids #cascademountainschool

And here are the finished paintings! Eliza’s is the top one and she titled it “SNOWSTORM RAINSTORM” (“it’s about the snow storm taking care o the pack of little snow squirrels”- Eliza) and Sam’s one on the bottom is called “BIRTH OF THE NIGHT DRAGONS SUNSET” (“mom it’s the sunset that happens at midnight o my when a night dragon is born”-Sam ) #creativekids #kidart #homestudio #homeschool #cascademountainschool

Day 1 of #cascademountainschool sustainable ag. We hiked up sleeping beauty to arrive at this incredible view of Mt Adams. Plenty of replanted clear cuts to be seen in the foreground.
this isn’t him, but I dedicate this photo to baby brown, the cutest cow in Glenwood valley...
Soil explorations. Silty or sandy loam? #cascademountainschool students will determine the soil texture of Broadfork farm, trout lake, WA.
we got some much needed rain this morning and boom, instantly it was fall on the refuge
Italian honey bees in white salmon, WA. Today #cascademountainschool students learned a queen honey bee will lay 1 egg every 28 seconds as long as honey is flowing.
Today was my first day as a refuge technician at Conboy Lake Wildlife Refuge in WA. Still can’t believe I get to wake up to this beautiful landscape everyday. Huge thanks to #americorps and #mtadamsinstitute for giving me this opportunity. Can’t wait to see what this summer has in store
Sorry California, happy cows actually come from Washington. Land of Milk and Honey specializes in grass fed raw milk along with grass fed beef. Pictured here are Jerseys, Angus, and Holstein steers. #cascademountainschool
icy mornings
I was honored to take 3 former #cascademountainschool students to the top of Mt. Adams. They did great! Thanks grancrews for coming along and the great 📸 #mtadams #moresunblock #volcanoeviews smithoptics

This heritage breed of Tamworth pig tried to devour my phone moments after I snapped this shot. #cascademountainschool
got up at 5 am for an elk survey. only saw 4 elk. but also got to see this. worth it, I’d say.
Bees! #cascademountainschool
counted and measured at least 5,000 stinky floppy catfish today... but really, who can complain
This lucky jersey calf gets to grow up on pasture and will be milked twice a day. She will primarily eat grass, and only eat grain when milked. I have come to be a huge supporter of organic dairy, especially the organic valley label which is a farmer owned cooperative. #cascademountainschool
office lookin good today #mtadamsinstitute
Trying to prevent hat shadow lol. Out in Trout Lake, WA for a place-based education training with the Cascade Mountain School. #troutlake #cascademountainschool #placebasededucation #summer #pnw #squint #nofilter #mtadams

She’s off for her school overnight trip! She handled all of her own packing and I am fully confident that means she’ll have at least 95% of the things she really needs. Girlfriend is on top of it! #urchinadventures #montessorikids #overnightfieldtrip #cascademountainschool
photo op with this guy who found himself stuck in a barn tonight. tomorrow we’ll take a ride to drop him off with the wildlife rehab folks. let’s hope his luck gets better from there!

I support the mtadamsinstitute on this #givingtuesday. This organization has changed my path in more ways than one. Because of them I have been given amazing opportunities to connect to the natural world and foster a deep sense of stewardship for our lands. Please consider supporting #mtadamsinstitute today and help provide life-changing opportunities for others! #unselfie #give
Preparing our microscope slides with honey bee anatomy for the group of 8th graders joining us tomorrow. Whitney and I will be teaching our first class on the importance of bees and we'll be inspecting our front yard beehive too! 🐝 wderith #CascadeMountainSchool #Gorge #beekeeping #honeybees #honeybythepeople #dowhatyoulove
First day at Columbia NWR, already making friends 🐍#columbianwr #bullsnake #mtadamsinstitute
Feeling over moon about the success of today! Cascade Mountain School's summer camp had their last Farm to Table field trip at our house. We opened the hive, found the Queen bee, saw pollen be brought back at the entrance, ate honeycomb straight from a frame, and some even conquered their fear of bees! I couldn't be more thrilled about this first time adventure. Many more to come with wderith I hope! #honeybythepeople #honeybees #beekeeping #hoodriver #columbiagorge #CascadeMountainSchool #dowhatyoulove #teacheachother #youthbeekeeping

#AmeriCorps has impacted my life in so many ways. If it weren’t for AmeriCorps, I probably never would have moved out West and discovered this incredible landscape and community of people. Through these internships I’ve found myself and the path I want to be on. Thank you nationalservice and mtadamsinstitute for all of the amazing opportunities I’ve been given. #DayoftheA #americorpsweek #mtadamsinstitute #americorpsworks #mtadams #pnw
