An interactive journal for SCA Alumni and Friends, April 2008
Connections. To the land. To each other. Across generations and cultures. Crucial connections to keep us whole and healthy and happy. Read about others’ connections here and tell us how you connect. We'll be connecting to you more than usual next week. Watch for 3 special, daily editions of Hands On with breaking news from EarthVision. As always, we welcome your feedback.

Reconnecting with the Mountain |
|
 by Jesse Stanley, ’02, ’03, ’04
My grandparents pose in a meadow of wildflowers with Mount Rainier rising in the background. In the photograph they’re young, standing next to a small reflecting pool that no longer exists. My grandfather, a maintenance man in Mount Rainier National Park, looks proud. My grandmother, daughter of the parks’ campground hosts, is smiling and holding a specially-exempted bouquet of wildflowers (picking flowers in the park was illegal even in those days.) It is their wedding day.

As SCA approached its 50th Anniversary last spring, it launched its first Alumni Council. The members were interested in being conservation leaders in their own communities, reengaging SCA’s other alumni, and expanding the impact of young people on conservation.
