Brent Franklin is a Cross Timbers Master Naturalist from the class of 2013. He grew up on a cattle ranch and served nine years in the U.S. Army and Army National Guard.  He has an interest in landscape photography and enjoys spending time outside. A lifelong interest in birds led him to join the Master Naturalist organization after hearing about it on a guided bird walk. During training, he was introduced to how diverse and fascinating Odonates are, and his obsession was born. He has traveled all over the state, seeking to locate, study, and photograph different species. Brent served as Past President of the Cross Timbers Master Naturalist chapter for two years and continues to serve on the Education Committee.
