A group of seventh graders from a rural, underserved community is asked to challenge their senses. Many of these students have never left their hometowns. They have never seen snow, the ocean, or mountain peaks. They put on blindfolds and are asked to rely on their other senses and one another to help guide them to a place they’ve never seen or experienced. They slowly tread through unsteady sediment that tests their balance. They smell the salty air and hear the rhythmic sounds of something in the distance. It may be a sound they’ve never heard, which stirs their imaginations. Without the power of sight, their sense of wonder builds.

The room was packed with more than 300 people last night as multiple groups (NatureBridge, National Park Conservation Association, Student Conservation Association, American Rivers, American Whitewater, Olympic National Park, and U.S. Geological Service) held what is planned to be the first of four Evenings on the Elwha at REI.

Today I am writing about something absurd I saw in a trash can last fall. Apples. I know everyone throws out (or better yet, composts!) an apple once in a while—one that got bruised or that we just couldn’t finish. But in this trash can, I saw more than 100 apples!

The term landfill makes most of us cringe. It is the headquarters for rancid trash, rotting and rusting away in a huge heap of an eyesore. Landfills are prime real estate—they take up space that could be used for more efficient resources. Posted by Em-j Staples, December 06, 2011 |

Well in advance of my first “official” start date on November 7, I began representing NatureBridge during the historic removal of the Elwha and Glines Canyon dams. It was and still is an incredibly exciting time in the Olympic Peninsula and a memorable way to start a new position. Posted by Stephen Streufert, December 02, 2011 |
I’ve been around the block when it comes to the three R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). Growing up, our household of 18 people created two paper grocery bags of trash a week. Posted by KC Nattinger, November 29, 2011 |
