Elizabeth Terwilliger, known best as "Mrs. T," was an inspiration for generations of Marin County residents. Her multi-sensory approach to teaching children about nature engendered a lifelong love of the natural world, and a desire to protect it in the hearts of people throughout the Bay Area and beyond. The children that went on hikes with Mrs. T grew up to be the environmental advocates overseeing the protection of Bay Area wildlands today.
Mrs. T’s Legacy Lives On
Marin County is a better place thanks to Mrs. T, and both her legacy and her creative and compelling teaching methods live on at WildCare. This event is in her honor.
