March 22nd, 2014……
11 years ago, the Oso slide tragically took the lives of 43 community members.
At the slide we remembered those lost, and the community that came together to support each other in these tough times.
We (Glacier Peak Institute) humbly arose from this tragedy

@fox13seattle Thanks for covering the story of the hardworking cone pickers in the community!

[FOX 13 Seattle @fox13seattle]

Locals are being tapped to collect pine cones in an effort to store seeds to re-grow forests before wildfires destroy natural seed banks in the Pacific Northwest. https://t.co/PFDk2GncpI

Had a great time with some members of the Darrington Collaborative to see their work to create a more resilient forest, support the longevity of WA state's natural resources, bring new jobs & STEM programs to the region, & inspire the next generation to be good stewards of our environment.

@GlacierPeak According to some Sauk-Suiattle members from histories we have read "Dakobed" also may mean "mountain."

Snails overwinter in shells and can alter chemicals act as antifreeze. With the warming weather, they know when to have a good time, gorge on delicious food, listen to great music (birds) and enjoy social endeavors. You can do it too on May 16th! https://t.co/8JTBcfm3CB

Join us on May 16th for an Evening UpSTrEaM to support your community and youth outdoors

[Glacier Peak Institute @GlacierPi]

We envision hiking trails, picnic tables and local historical exhibits where the community and the local schools can walk to the riverfront in town.
Ultimately a space for our community, for you and you can have a voice on that vision through the survey.

“A big piece of being rural is enjoying and caring for the landscape"
To be rural, we need access to landscapes to both care for and enjoy.

Help create access to the river with a create a vision of the future of river access in Darrington for a new park to go along the Sauk River in the town limits of Darrington. There are sandy beaches, teal rivers and vistas of glacier caped peaks. https://t.co/SfO1OfJJph

Voice how the community thinks it can best celebrate Darrington’s natural and cultural character while providing opportunities for accessible, educational, and enjoyable outdoor activities.
