What this organization describes

Connecting people, nature and community since 1986

North Cascades Institute's mission is to inspire and empower environmental stewardship for all through transformative educational experiences in nature. Since 1986, we have helped connect people, nature and community through science, art, literature and the hands-on study of the natural and cultural history of the Pacific Northwest. Our goal is to help people of all ages experience and enjoy the mountains, rivers, forests, people and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest - so all will care for and protect this special place.
