Dr. John Pipoly, originally from Detroit, Michigan, received his B. Sc. in Botany from Michigan State University in 1978, his M. Phil. and Ph. D. from the joint program of the City University of New York and the New York Botanical Garden in 1986. After a postdoc at the Smithsonian Institution, then US EPA at HQ in the Superfund, he worked at the Missouri Botanical Garden where he supervised Florulas in Peru and Colombia while designing the sampling strategy for permanent forest inventory plots across the Amazon. Subsequently at the Botanical Research Institute of Texas from 1994 to 2,000, he represented the United States’ side of the Philippine Plant Inventory, was co-founder of the Flora of Texas Consortium, devised new forest analysis models in Papua New Guinea, and formulated the Colombian Western Andean Cordillera Forest Monitoring System. He then directed research at both the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, with programs in the Philippines, Papua New Guinea and Colombia, and Fairchild Tropical Garden, where he worked across the Caribbean and Colombia. He was named a Corresponding member of the Colombian Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences. He is currently Environmental Project Coordinator for Broward County Parks and Recreation Division, where he supervises Pre-K—12 STEAM/Environmental Education, relationships with universities, local, state and federal agencies, and Grants. He also works with a local environmental education nonprofit, Youth Environmental Alliance to present the Florida Master Naturalist Program as adult continuing education. His latest program is one to assist underserved students of the Broward Municipal Services District through the Neighborhood Parks, where over 290 students have been empowered to raise their scientific grades from below “C” to “B” during sessions of once per week for 16 weeks. John uses voluntary intern instructors who are undergrads or recent grads from the Florida Atlantic University Biological Sciences Department to accomplish this program and has groups of them assisting in development of more curriculum in English and Spanish.
