Hello, and welcome back to the Shadows Run Podcast!

Today's episode features Mason Wood, representing Teton Science Schools in her role as the Outdoor Learning Experiences Program Coordinator.

Teton Science Schools is the educational partner of Grand Teton National Park. TSS provides education through youth group programming, ecotourism, and engaging with local students. They steward three campuses: the Jackson campus between the towns of Jackson & Wilson, WY; the Kelly campus within the boundaries of Grand Teton National Park; and the Murie Ranch, a National Historical Landmark and the birthplace of the Wilderness Act.

Mason and I speak a lot to the value and importance of public lands and the power of place-based learning in this conversation. Mason shares her personal passion for the work she is involved in at TSS, as well as the founding story of the organization and how it has grown and evolved with time. We speak to the impact that TSS has had on the lives of students both local and international, and what she hopes for the future of the organization.

I am so grateful to Mason for sharing her heart and passion for her work and Teton Science Schools in this conversation, and I hope you enjoy!
