As Summer approaches I’m reminded of this inspirational adventure from 2024 where I documented a crew of amazing youth from Student Conservation Association as they trekked bags of soil to the summit of Sargent Mountain. Their goal was to deliver soil to aid in the summit restoration efforts taking place on one of my favorite Acadian mountains. What a privilege to see the younger generations learning about, and participating in the preservation of our shared wild spaces in this world.

Read the story and see my work here on the SCA’s blog!

The SCA's New York City Urban Green crew helped preserve local plant life and combat erosion at Acadia National Park in Maine.

The season has taken off, and the good vibes are at an all-time high! Sharing magical moments with everyone who has already joined me on my Acadia adventures this year is truly inspiring…while the chance to lift each other up during the planning phase for adventures later in the season is giving all of us much-needed energy and excitement. I am so thankful for all the love and support I continue to receive…THANK YOU

Looking forward to making
more new memories with YOU on the trail…
