Lennie got it right. I have seen first had the unassuming way Jerry helps disparate groups talk to each other. It is why I was so delighted when Jerry agreed to become a member of the Jasper Ridge Coordinating Committee, well before he even became a docent. He has been an invaluable contributor.

Well deserved recognition for a truly dedicated, thoughtful and kind human. Thanks for all you have accomplished for our communities, both the human and especially the ecological.

How appropriate to name Jerry Hearn as an Environmental Hero! He has done SO much over many years to educate kids and adults about the importance of living in balance with the natural world. Jerry is one of those soft-spoken advocates whose dedication over decades has led him to engage many people in working to protect this beautiful part of Earth we call "the Peninsula." Those of us who have had the joy of working alongside Jerry can tell dozens of stories about his generosity, his ability to bring people together, and his caring for people of all ages and types. He is truly a "hero" in so many ways.
