Bob Field MindWalk March 12, 2007 notes

rec'd 10-25-06

I have been a walk and talk docent for nine years and I serve as science education coordinator to the walk docent committee. I have been an adjunct physics professor at Cal Poly for over six years where I supervise student projects and have developed an advanced physics course on the structure and evolution of the oceans, atmosphere, solid Earth, Sun, and biosphere. I am also developing an informal science education project that I call the “Natural History of Planet Earth”.

 “The Summer of Change” presented by docent Bob Field on Monday March 12 2007

The speaker has proposed to develop a county wide informal science education project in 2009 called the “Summer of Change” in order to promote docent-led walks and talks in local state parks. The project features the “Natural History of the California Coast” with an artistic photography exhibition in the Hearst Castle National Geographic Theater lobby, a “Natural History of Planet Earth” poster exhibit in the museum, and new docent-led living natural history programs.
