Kurt Mead
Kurt Mead is a naturalist, working most recently at Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center near Finland, Minnesota. He has also worked in a pea canning factory, as a grunt for the MN DNR, as a garbage man, an animal control officer, an urban wildlife trapper, and aquaculturalist, a security guard, an acid rain monitor, a waiter, a delivery driver and an elected township superviser. He hopes to never work a full-time job again. Kurt has a BS in Biology and a BFA in art, both from the University of Minnesota Duluth. Kurt regularly gives talks and workshops on dragonfly identification and ecology. He has traveled as far as Sweden to pursue his love for dragonflies, but is blessed to live in the North Woods near Finland, Minnesota with his wife, Betsy, also a naturalist, and their two yound daughters, Yarrow and Lily (who are showing great promise in the field of Odonatology). |
