Meet Juliana Gay, our 2020 Cascade Mountain School educator!

by Mt. Adams Institute | Jun 17, 2020 | Land Stewards, Summer Camp

I grew up just outside of Portland, Oregon. Despite living in one of the most beautiful and accessible places to nature, I didn’t get into my hobbies of hiking, backpacking, and road tripping until I was a young adult. I decided to hike the Pacific Crest Trail...

Meet Melissa Gattrell, 2020 VetsWork AmeriCorps Intern!

by Mt. Adams Institute | Jun 8, 2020 | VetsWork

Growing up on a farm in Pennsylvania instilled in me a strong respect and understanding of the importance of taking care of the land. That respect and love for natural things grew when I moved to California at the age of 18 to become an adventure guide. I took groups...

by Mt. Adams Institute | Oct 23, 2019 | Land Stewards

Public Lands Stewards: Being Present and Here

by Mt. Adams Institute | May 11, 2018 | Land Stewards, Summer Camp

Over two years ago, I sat in a Caffè Nero in Istanbul, Turkey, overlooking the Bosphorus Strait, writing my AmeriCorps application to work at Cascade Mountain School. I measured time by the number of barges that passed, shipping goods from the Black Sea to the...

Public Lands Stewards: A New Year, A New System

by Mt. Adams Institute | Feb 23, 2018 | Land Stewards, Summer Camp

There is a certain personal power that possesses me and I believe it has propelled me through most of my bold, ill-advised, far-off and ultimately life-shaping experiences. That spirit goes along nicely with a sentiment from T.S. Eliot that I’ve come to own privately,...
