Diane Goebes

Diane continues to be a dedicated volunteer after more than 15 years. She is a retired psychologist, having worked in Arlington schools and later in a private clinical practice. She loves the outdoors, and Jug Bay in particular. Diane is a Volunteer naturalist at Jug Bay and a Master Naturalist. She has led school children on many, many field trips. In fact, she usually leads one or two trips a week during the spring and fall--an invaluable help to the education staff. Diane has led many canoe and kayak trips for Jug Bay and for the County. She initiated Jug Bay’s Women on the Water, a program for women who are a bit uncomfortable or inexperienced in canoeing and kayaking the Patuxent River. Diane participates in Citizen Science at Jug Bay, including Bluebird Nestbox Monitoring and Vernal Pool Monitoring. She is often available to lend a hand with special projects, such as the Critter Crawl at Halloween, Teen Paddle, and others.
