Growing up, I probably wouldn’t have considered myself an “environmentalist.” No, I wasn’t a climate denier or serial-litterer. I was always - and still am - a big lover of the outdoors and would have supported anything to protect it! Rather, I was disillusioned with the conservation and environmental movement as I had perceived it in my hometown of Portland, Oregon, and as I related to it as a person of color.

Summer officially runs from summer solstice on June 21 to the fall equinox on September 22, but in Alaska it feels more fleeting. Already, it seems half gone. Maybe it’s because the changes in light feel palpable, and plant and garden growth comes so fast you can hardly keep up. Salmon runs suddenly get hot and then quickly wane; berries get plump and within weeks picked over by bears and dogs and humans; shorts and t-shirt days feel almost oppressive when coupled with wildfire smoke and no wind, yet will soon give way to the first frost.
