About me
Tamika Whitenack is a lifelong student of the outdoor world! As an educator with The Edible Schoolyard Project in Berkeley, she designs and facilitates experiences that promote students' connection to each other and our ecosystems. Tamika believes that gardens and food offer exciting opportunities for systems change and community building; she loves tending to the earth and imagining alternative paradigms with co-conspirators. Through academic and professional endeavors, Tamika has explored outdoor learning and experiential education through urban agriculture and sustainable farms in the San Francisco Bay Area, upstate New York, and abroad. Beyond gardening and teaching, Tamika finds joy and wonder in trail running, cooking, hiking, camping, playing music, and sharing stories with loved ones.
