This will be my final blog for my internship with the U.S. Forest Service through Mt. Adams Institute. I got to be part of a program called VetsWork where I was partnered with the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest’s district range department. I got to hike all over Hells Canyon, assist with monitoring projects, and help conservation efforts in regards to cattle grazing. I have to say it was an amazing adventure and I’ve learned so much! I got to not only help the forest but the community as well. There were some hard times this year, but in the end it was all worth it. I got to go talk to kids about being a veteran and volunteer for local nonprofits all while doing my internship. I have met so many unforgettable people including my mentors. I will never forget this place or the experiences I’ve had. After this internship ends I will be going back to Missouri to accept a seasonal position doing quail telemetry.

    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

    Last week marked the end of our Mountain to Valley summer camp! For two weeks, students conducted meaningful ecological research while farming, backpacking, mountaineering, and camping. We hope that they left connected to themselves, with new skills and friends, and inspiration to become positive leaders and change makers in our world! #mtadamsinstitute #cascademountainschool #mountaintovalley #mtadams #troutlakevalley  #highschoolcamp #science #stewardship
