The registration fee will be 100% donated to these two amazing organizations that strengthen the connection between people and the natural world through education, service and research. 💙

We will be harvesting indigo from the flower farm, exploring diverse shades of blue, playing with indigo eco prints, creating shibori patterns and dyeing both cotton and silk fibers. 💙

Ominous view of Adams on the first day of Mountain Camp #meandtheboys #cascademountainschool #PNW
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
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
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
Heck of a week with the #mtadamsinstitute in Washington. I start an internship with the US Forest Service on Monday
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
Love where I work #somanywaterfalls #umpquanationalforest #vetswork #mtadamsinstitute #lemolofalls
The community outreach and support is one of the many things I LOVE about my job at the Cascade Mountain School! 😊 We decided to donate this bike to Josue for all his hard work and compassion this summer, and also his continued efforts in his community now. #littlethingsmatter #cascademountainschool #cmsbikedonation
Trying to channel Eliza Thornberry while I release this beauty caught in our fyke net. As you can see she made it out fine but does not consider me a friend 💔

Not only do we get to learn about sustainable agriculture at the base of mt. Adams, but sometimes we get lucky enough to show up on the morning a calf was born. The kids named him "Pizza" #cascademountainschool #farmtotable #bikecamp #hearts #pearsondairy #troutlake
If we want them to become stewards of the earth, we must give them space and time to connect with the earth. Dream, create, and play, next generation! #cascademountainschool #cms #futuregeneration #stewardship starts with #connection #love #play #summercamp #natureartcamp #ardisdefreece #mtadamsinstitute
Thanks to the #LeaveNoTrace Center for Outdoor Ethics and the #mtadamsinstitute for giving me the opportunity to share LNT ethics with my fellow #VetsWork members. Strengthening bonds with our natural world through education and community.

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!
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.
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.
we got some much needed rain this morning and boom, instantly it was fall on the refuge
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
counted and measured at least 5,000 stinky floppy catfish today... but really, who can complain
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
Sundays are for exploring.
10/10 would travel to a place recommended by a gas station attendant. 😅 ➡️
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.
