I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Biology with a minor in Earth Science. During my time as an undergraduate I assisted in a research project using DNA barcoding to facilitate plant identification. I also conducted an independent project comparing invertebrate diversity between upland and wetland habitats. After graduating, I volunteered with North County Land Trust and Mount Grace Land Trust, performing GIS analysis, field GPS, and land stewardship. Kyle is also actively engaged in insect surveys wherever he goes and herpetological research at Wachusett Mountain and the White Mountains. Kyle is an active board member with Friends of Wachusett Mountain, and has presented his projects at local research conferences.
