Please join us for the 11th Annual Dr. Mary Bowerman Science and Research Colloquium!

Dr. Mary Leolin Bowerman co-founded Save Mount Diablo in 1971. Mary was a botanist and a student of the flora of Mount Diablo for over 70 years. In her honor, Save Mount Diablo established the Mary Bowerman Science and Research Program in 2013.

In addition to facilitating research on and around the mountain by offering micro-grant awards, one of the goals of the program is to share valuable findings and management implications for Mount Diablo’s natural resources with the public.

Save Mount Diablo will be hosting the 11th annual Dr. Mary Bowerman Science and Research Colloquium on Friday, December 6th, 2024 at the David Brower Center in downtown Berkeley. The Colloquium will inform other scientists, researchers, and the general public about ongoing projects and discoveries in the Diablo Range.

The colloquium will be held in the Tamalpais Room at the David Brower Center.

The David Brower Center is one block away from the Downtown Berkeley BART Station.

There is also a parking garage on the same block (the Oxford Garage) for $2/hr and metered street parking available.
