Winter World Adaptations

What makes winter so enjoyable? Getting outside amidst rain or snow to enjoy the natural wonders. Increase your appreciation and excitement for the winter season by learning a bit more about the adaptations of various birds, animals, and plants adapted to thrive in the Cascade mountains.

This digital class will provide the tools for you to hone your field observation skills and provide insight, stories, and clues for fostering a deeper connection to our winter world. We will also provide information to community science organizations and groups with whom you can get more involved this winter season for stewardship, advocacy and action!

Meet the Instructor

Gina Roberti

Gina Roberti is a geologist, naturalist and educator who grew up digging quahogs and exploring the shorelines of the Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island (the state with the largest coastline per capita!) amidst ancient metamorphic rocks of the Appalachian Mountains. Since graduating from Brown University with a degree in Geology-Biology, Gina spent several years working as a geoscience educator in various geologic regions in the western U.S., including the Colorado Plateau, Snake River Plain, Klamath-Siskiyou, North Cascades, and presently the active Cascade volcanic range. In each of these places she taught thousands of youth and adults about earth science in a variety of field-based and classroom settings.

Gina currently works with the Mount St. Helens Institute. She strongly believes in the power of education to inspire awareness, appreciation and stewardship for the natural world. When Gina is not working she can be found on long walks or cross country skis, often in the company of birds.
