Nature Awareness Marble Mountains

Discover a feeling of comfort and safety as you come home again in the wilderness

Students will learn to immerse themselves fully in nature. Renewing your connection with wilderness will be a major life freeing experience. You will spend eight days in the Marble Mountain Wilderness surrounded by ancient old growth forest with high alpine lakes, meadows, wildflowers and an abundance of wildlife to observe. I believe this class is the foundation for all nature studies. Spending a week in an old growth forest will change your life. Join us and come home to the Earth.
