Judy Archer began working at the Zoo in 1994. Within the first year she developed the unique, week-long Chevron Zoo School experience, working closely with teachers to integrate the Zoo and environmental education into the curriculum. Judy lived in Ecuador for two years where she worked as a guide and hostess for a jungle lodge, which continues to work closely with local people on development and conservation projects. Judy has extensive experience in environmental education as a teacher, a naturalist, a Zoo educator, and a university instructor. Judy has hosted several Zoofaris to Peru and Ecuador, where her first-hand knowledge of the country and its people, as well as her fluency in Spanish, are a tremendous asset. Her most recent adventure was in Kenya and she looks forward to returning to East Africa in Sept. '08.
