Vesper Meadow Education Program

In 2020, TUI joined forces with Vesper Meadow Education Program to offer hands-on learning opportunities in a high-elevation meadow ecosystem of the Cascade-Siskiyous. VMEP works with local schools, indigenous groups, scientists and members of the public to inspire a culture of land stewardship and nature connection.
