Our History & Head Frog
 Chris Giorni founded Tree Frog Treks in 1999. He received his undergraduate degree in zoology from U.C. Berkeley and his Master’s degree in biology from San Francisco State University. He has been active in the area of education since 1989, teaching science at the kindergarten through adult level. Working as a professional biologist, he has had the opportunity to study lizards in the Dominican Republic, coral reef fish off of Lizard Island in Australia and amphibians and reptiles in many areas throughout California. He has worked with Gary Fellars on the Global Amphibian decline task force, studied San Francisco garter snakes in San Mateo County state parks, and is presently involved in local amphibian restoration projects.
Born and raised in San Francisco, Chris has always been fascinated with animal life and never missed an opportunity to go camping or fishing. Leading active travel tours with Backroads for five years allowed him to meet and work with a diverse group of people from all over the world. Chris currently teaches Tree Frog Treks and classes all over the Bay Area, in addition to leading Junior Academy classes and family natural history excursions for the California Academy of Sciences and directing Tree Frog Treks' programs offered at the Bay Area Discovery Museum.
