Description

Brown Bag Lunch Online Presentation with Marilyn Tucker, Retired Educator & World Traveler & Jane Woodward, OLLI Instructor:

Take a 15-day virtual trip to explore Costa Rica including its Central Valley, its Monteverde cloud forest along the Continental Divide, and its farms and wildlife preserves on both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts. We launch from San Francisco to arrive in San Jose, Costa Rica’s capital. We then explore and experience its many preserves featuring a vast variety of trees, plants, birds, amphibians, and butterflies; plus land and marine animals such as monkeys, 2-toed and 3-toed sloths and sea turtles, and reptiles such as crocodiles & iguanas. We visit family-owned plantations growing coffee, bananas, and pineapples; and traverse grassland farms raising cattle and sheep. We take boat rides along canals to access otherwise inaccessible tropical forested areas. Come along for the ride on this pictorial ecotour.

Marilyn Tucker came to Humboldt County in 1959 with her husband, Roy, when he accepted a job at Humboldt State University as a mathematics professor. When their two children were well along in school, she began teaching at Morris School in McKinleyville. After 18 years as an elementary teacher she retired and worked for another nine years for the Humboldt State Education Department supervising student teachers, with five of those years co-teaching the Math Methods class for teachers. Since retirement (she is now 94 years old), she has volunteered with the Friends of the Redwood Libraries and spends time with Delta Kappa Gamma, an international organization for educators. She loves to travel, and has been to all seven continents and about 54 countries.

Jane Woodward (M.Ed, MPA, JD) has been a social science researcher, analyst and program developer for over 45 years. In recent years, she has focused on developments in brain research and integrative medicine, economic and community development, and lifestyle changes in response to climate change. She is an active member of the Arcata Economic Development Committee, the OLLI curriculum committee, and formerly Transition Humboldt. She has developed and presented OLLI courses on Creative Living, Consciousness: An Exploration, Conscious Living, and Advocacy, and coordinates the OLLI Brown Bag lunch program.

The presentation will begin promptly at noon.
