About

Barbara Frank’s nickname “Doc Rock,” given to her by her undergraduate Geology students at University of Maryland Global Campus, says it all:  Dr. Frank is deeply involved with Planet Earth.  She finds wisdom, inspiration and comfort from her connection to Nature.  Throughout her career, she has sought to help human beings improve their relationship to Planet Earth.  Today, her mission is more critical than ever.  Encouraging and guiding people and organizations to engage with Nature in sustainable ways as if their very survival depends on it—because it does!

During her pioneering career, Dr. Frank has held many positions:  Geology Professor, U.S. House of Representatives Congressional Staffer, Senior Manager at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy.  Her primary emphasis has been environmental education and strategic planning to promote sustainability. 

Twenty years ago, Dr. Frank created a meeting and retreat center in naturally beautiful Great Falls, Virginia, 30 minutes from Washington, D.C.  Meeting Oasis is designed to help nonprofit , government and corporate organizations deal innovatively with change, drawing on deep understanding of natural systems.

In the last decade, Doc Rock created Grandparents into Nature to motivate and empower grandparents to connect with the youngest generation through sharing experiences in Nature.
