The North Cascades can provide amazing star gazing opportunities. With little light pollution all you got to to do is look up to see a whole new world.

Where is your favorite spot to see the stars in the North Cascades?

Artist and long-time Institute instructor Molly Hashimoto has appreciated trees all her life. They have shaped her as a hiker, gardener, traveler, and artist. In her new book, Trees of the West: An Artist’s Guide, Molly emphasizes her personal experiences with nature, telling stories about encounters with trees everywhere from her backyard to national parks and forests throughout the West, with a special interest in native trees across the region.

To complement her Oct 16 in-person event at Village Books in Bellingham, Molly will join us online for an exclusive presentation to our Institute community! Participants will hear about Molly’s process of creating the book, enjoy a live demo of painting techniques, and hear personal reflections about her experience as a professional artist.

"As we piled out of the van, students carefully balanced their packs on their backs .... It was noon, and the sun beat down on us while black flies attacked us just as hard. We each grabbed a tool ... and we made our way up the trail." Read more about this Youth Leadership Adventures trip to Mazama Camp and Mt. Baker from YLA instructor Talia Schmitt in her recent blog post. https://blog.ncascades.org/youth-programs/on-the-trail-with-youth-leadership-adventures/
