The Bearded Mainer

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!
