Cosimo Bardini

Cosimo began White Pine in 2015 as a student in the Ways of the Wild program. He has always loved being outside exploring the woods of Maine with his instructors and fellow students, many of them are still his closest friends! Some of Cosimo’s favorite things to do in the woods are exploring, making friction fires and building weather-proof debris shelters. Cosimo believes an amazing thing about exploring in nature is that there is always something to learn, whether it’s about the environment or about yourself. He also really enjoys carving, especially spoons and, of course, gnomes! Much of who Cosimo is today has been deeply influenced by his time at White Pine Programs. He loves having the opportunity to share it!
