Judy
Adler has been actively involved in the field of environmental
education in the San Francisco Bay Area for more
than two decades. Since 1992 more than 26,000 K-12
students and accompanying adults have participated
in her educational field trips. Diablo Nature Adventures
outings provide the field experiences that enhance
many areas of classroom instruction. Geology, geography,
aquatic biology, and the cultural and natural history
of the Diablo region are among the subjects taught.
A watershed education program known as City Creeks
was recently introduced for secondary students and
an elementary school program with gardening, nutrition
and cooking components is in the planning stages.
All of Judy's programs have a clear land stewardship
message.
