Kelly Kobza was an early BAA volunteer and member of the Action Team. She was part of the BAA contingent that travelled to the Test Site for The Hundreth Monkey in 1992, helped with the newsletter in 1993, attended rallies calling for protection of Headwaters Forest, and hosted YEA! programs at the school where she taught 6th grade in 2001.

In 1997 her 4th grade students at Midpeninsula Jewish Community Day School donated $137.87 to help protect Headwaters Forest. That money helped Julia “Butterfly” Hill’s ground support team buy a laptop for field communications.
