Dr. Lockhart has been a long-time champion for environmental science education and increasing access to the outdoors.

Growing up in St. Louis, Dr. Lockhart developed a life-long love of the outdoors as he rose to the rank of Eagle Scout in his segregated Boy Scout troop. It was during this time that the seeds were sown for his commitment to social justice and his desire to help introduce youth of all backgrounds to the wonder of our national parks.
A Rhodes Scholar, Dr. Lockhart obtained his Master’s degree in Economics from Oxford University, and M.D. and Ph.D. from Cornell. When he moved to California in 1986 for post-graduate training at University of California, San Francisco, he began visiting Yosemite and discovered his passion for climbing.
