Research in Motion: Field Learning with Dr. Bob and Sarah This June, our Research and Education Team (RET), led by Dr. Bob and Sarah, returns to Kilembe alongside students from Penn State University and Makerere University. Their focus: tracking the survival and health of thousands of trees planted last year, helping protect the community from floods and landslides. Working hand‑in‑hand with local residents and SCU volunteers, the team will: Map tree survival using a mobile app for accurate, accessible data. Host group discussions exploring how traditional and scientific knowledge can guide which species best serve community needs and ecosystem health. This collaboration will lay the foundation for a new yearly course connecting students with hands‑on, community‑based climate research. Something that links classrooms, mountainsides, and shared purpose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/686e94becd6d5905e2b1464a/1c31fc3e-e9bb-4538-ac37-33e2b9990878/IMG_5261.jpg News & Updates - Rooted in Progress - NL #21 - 3. Thoughtful Growth: Reflections from Max Another layer of our research comes through Max, a SCU team member pursuing his master’s in biodiversity. His studies connect directly to our mission to restore native species like Prunus africana in areas where non‑native eucalyptus has taken hold. Max’s academic lens encourages us to look more critically at long‑term ecological balance: Scaling bamboo planting requires careful consideration of cloning and invasiveness. True progress means local communities remain central to every decision. Sustainability must include economic viability - profit and conservation can grow together. This research helps us ask better questions, design better solutions, and stay rooted in the belief that adventure and restoration can coexist. https://www.skiclubuganda.org/news-updates/early-wins-nl-19-de66b-et29j monthly 0.5 2026-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/686e94becd6d5905e2b1464a/14051220-62b1-4661-9a0f-33f83eea237a/IMG_5374.png News & Updates - We are headed back to Uganda this June! - NL #20 - 1.

Potential UNESCO sponsorship! Morgan was brainstorming ways to expand our reach, when she stumbled upon UNESCO’s Green Citizens platform. Long story short, we met with them, and apparently Ski Club Uganda is exactly what they look for in organizations to sponsor! This is not a funding opportunity, but a way for UNESCO to back us by promoting our non-profit, and letting us use their brand. Stay tuned as we navigate this process. Morgan and I met with Santiago Said, a biologist, non-profit founder, and representative of UNESCO! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/686e94becd6d5905e2b1464a/5600f0d6-3ec7-4a54-9977-1fb3fa58627c/unnamed+%2818%29.jpg News & Updates - Early Wins! - NL #18 - 4. New 501c3, New GoFundMe & Finances We finally got the letter! Whoop Whoop!!! With our 501c3 non-profit we are an official non-profit. That means donations are now tax-deductible. Unfortunately, the IRS did not grant us retroactive exemption, so donations made to Ski Club Uganda before now will not be tax deductible. This is a bummer, but alas. As of now, we still have $1,133. Local costs are covered until 2026, and currently our main expenses are website + cloud storage for pictures & media. We have plans for future work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/686e94becd6d5905e2b1464a/6b539434-a6a1-4eb7-8755-4c350db67dd7/unnamed+%2819%29.jpg News & Updates - Early Wins! - NL #18 - Last gofundme campaign, our wonderful supporters — Jotam G Pasipanody, Nubia Echevarria, Anne Dix, Nicole Dreon, Felix Knollmann, Elisabeth Purtscher, Barbara Ritschel, Bjorn Knollmann, John Porter, Martina Decrinis, Bill Von Stockten, Max Eihausen, and Morgan Long — made our project possible, helping good people do good things for our planet.

It’s immediately after the flood season in May, giving our new bamboo the longest time to grow and become strong before the next flood season. They are to protect the riverbanks from eroding and swallowing houses in the flood seasons. Those dates let us take advantage of weekends for travel, so us working people can minimize time off from work… (and avoid getting fired!) Sarah is also on sabbatical this summer, and Brolin’s event schedule clears up in the summer.

Yes! We skied the Stanley Glacier on Mt. Rwenzori. Check out this picture… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/686e94becd6d5905e2b1464a/6e6a3c98-16d4-4b0f-b0a8-db9eeb349c23/IMG_3706.jpeg News & Updates - The October Trip - NL #4 - Was it hard? Yes! It pushed us to the limit. On day six, the summit day, we started at 2am, scaling wet cliffs in the dark, weak and delirious from the altitude. The weather was bad, and we decided to leave our skis below the summit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/686e94becd6d5905e2b1464a/4884c82e-4718-4de7-96ca-77416412e564/IMG_3786.jpg News & Updates - The October Trip - NL #4 - 1. We left a pair of skis, poles, skins, gloves, a jacket, poncho, shirt, harness, and a sleeping bag, as well as ski boots and shoes (not pictured). The goal? If we leave enough gear, we might realize the dream of having a Ugandan ski their own glacier! Now it’s possible. 2. Unfortunately every day we had viewpoints of the glacier, we also had bad weather… :( 3. We got nearly everything off Caleb Norville & Dr. Ivory’s list! Pauli recorded the altitude and coordinates of each finding, so we have data to share! Bentique, our guide and photographer, took great pictures. 4. We had three female porters on our trip! Jaqueline, the eldest, was a beast. She carried our heaviest bag (and made it look it easy). 5. The ladders were gone! They had taken them down. Eddison, our head guide, mentioned they were already there before he started 14 years ago. We took pictures of where they were, but with the bad weather I’m not sure how useful they will be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/686e94becd6d5905e2b1464a/ae16ec4b-42af-4578-895f-ea3e7b7d9d7d/IMG_3778.jpeg News & Updates - The October Trip - NL #4 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/686e94becd6d5905e2b1464a/e6fd36a6-081d-4f14-9ec7-835a3e85985c/68b29d67-8a36-417d-aa3a-fa8577495013.JPG News & Updates - The October Trip - NL #4 - Hearing this, talking with the guides and the porters, and John from RTS, and later with Mike Keigwin from UCF and Dr. Bob from Makerere (see the picture from our dinner)… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/686e94becd6d5905e2b1464a/3326be33-1c17-4865-b28f-553df9857f38/IMG_3800.jpeg News & Updates - The October Trip - NL #4 - (Meet Ganzi, Batenga, and myself!) Now, we’ve skied the glacier, we’ve joined Ski Club Uganda… what comes next? Are we going to quit here? No. Lukka Wolff (student parter at Middlebury college) has scored us a conversation with a Middlebury professor in Environmental science, and we’ll discuss if it’s possible to send students! Morgan Long has been working on our 501c3 application the last two weeks, so we can submit it soon and get the ball rolling! We’ve got conversations to have with John and Dr. Bob, to color in the specifics for our project. (Which trees, where to plant, what costs, etc) We’ve got to put together a proposal for Ganzi and Batenga to bring the Ugandan administration. We’ve got tons of footage to sort through, see if we can make a short film about this story. We’ve got a great story proposal (which now needs another update!) to send to every outdoorsy magazine. We’ve got to follow up with Brody about connecting with the American NGO “Protect Our Winters” (POW). We’ve got to work on our website, get it looking professional. Create an organization on LinkedIn. We’ve got to find more existing members of Ski Club Uganda, and let them know they’re a part of something really special. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/686e94becd6d5905e2b1464a/b83c33da-5548-4e9a-af85-91c942d69b8a/Untitled+design+%283%29.png News & Updates - The October Trip - NL #4 - P.S.
