And the Dengates rode into the rising sun! @tinyapartmentd #colorfulcolorado #throwback #adventurebang #i70 #sunrise

“Of all the things I wondered about on this land, I wondered the hardest about the seduction of certain geographies that feel like home — not by story or blood but merely by their forms and colors. How our perceptions are our only internal map of the world, how there are places that claim you and places that warn you away. How you can fall in love with the light.” - Ellen Meloy. Thanks to Brother for being tour guide and teacher and laugh spreader, no thanks to the uvulitis; thanks to Niko for always being pro adventure; and thanks to new and old friends and the desert!! (GUESS WHAT I MOUNTAIN BIKED WITHOUT PERISHING AT ALL). @tinyapartmentd @nikokubota @jeff.er.why @bizermel @elle_mountainista @jshltz #moab #adventurebang

I have a project called the Sidewalk Plant Lab! Follow it at @sidewalkplantlab. It’s a roaming outdoor environmental Ed project that empowers passersby as scientists and draws attention to urban plants at outdoor events (May-October), and also an instagram that aims to teach and showcase the plants we pass all the time. Check it out if you haven’t already! And if you live in the Twin Cities, let me know if you want to get involved! #sidewalkplantlab #urbanecology #backyardbotany #environmentaleducation #ginkgobiloba #spindletree #celestraceae

My badass beast of a mom and I walked a half marathon this morning! 13.1 miles in three hours and 46 minutes. It was REALLY cool, y’all. Three cheers to Detroit, Canada, and my mama and dad, who dropped us off, cheered us on with a sign, and met us at the end! #freepmarathon #detroit #ambassadorbridge #puremichigan @dengate436 @patrickdengate

Three days a week I get to walk under this Eastern white pine. #pinusstrobus #onlyinmn #treesaregoodforyou

Heyyyy-o, river. Canoeing with sixth graders is a blast. #environmentaleducation #gooutside #onlyinmn #andalmostwi

Holy shit, kids these days are amazing. This is what democracy looks like. Sea levels are rising, and so. Are. We. Phenomenal young speakers, singers, and poets at today’s #climatestrike. #climatestrikemn #climatechange #youthforclimate #resist #vote #act #mnyouthclimatestrike

Summer’s not gone yet. #onlyinmn #minnehahacreek #watershed
