| Wild by nature |
Wild By Nature was originally formed in 1989 as the Children's Ecology Club in Mira Mesa, a north-central community of San Diego, California. Kathryn Wild, the founder, had been urged by her daughter Lani, then a first-grader, to enlist interested and curious youngsters from San Diego schools to participate in an ecology club. One of the main objectives was for the kids to "adopt" a local species, and to request the assistance of a teacher to be an on-site expert and mentor. Frequently, the club hiked in the local chaparral, canyons, and mesas to observe and learn about the many fascinating plants and animals. The youngsters and Kathryn would often narrate their findings to classmates, teachers and other conservation groups. Kathryn followed her heart when organizing this club. Her undergraduate work revolved around Native American elementary education, and her doctoral work focused on health education. Having earned her Ph.D., Kathryn's work evolved into Nature Studies. She took her love of the outdoors seriously, and became affiliated with many environmental causes. This solid background has truly complemented Kathryn's desire to appreciate and understand our precious planet and its innumerable ecosystems. Due to the growing popularity of the club, it was transformed into Wild By Nature, and incorporated in early 1994 as a non-profit environmental organization. The organization is currently comprised of the following individuals: Kathryn, Ellen Bauder, Ph.D., Beverly Ward Trust, Barbara Moran, and Jane Owen. Wild By Nature still operates out of Mira Mesa, which happens to be home to diverse and fragile habitats known as vernal pools. |
