Profile
on....... TIM BRASTRUP
Area Fisheries Supervisor, Brainerd; Division of Fish and Wildlife Educational programs and internships.... Tim and other members of the Brainerd Fisheries office give about 20 to 30 presentations a year to elementary schools, high schools, colleges, sporting clubs, and civic organizations. Tim also writes newspaper articles to inform the community about a special project that is underway, or provide other factual information. Tim and some of the staff members can also be heard on the local radio station, where they may be giving their predictions about fishing conditions. Sometimes, a special project will require extra help, and the Fisheries office will employ a college intern to work on the project. There have been a number of college interns in their office. Just recently, an intern went on to be hired as a Fisheries Technician at Little Falls. Tim finds it rewarding to be able to help an intern or employee to develop a career in natural resources. Outside of his work with the DNR, Tim acts as an adjunct instructor at Central Lakes College in Brainerd. Tim has taught there for the past 11 years. He teaches Fisheries Management and other aquatic biology courses, including wetland ecology, watershed management, limnology (study of fresh water) and water quality analysis. |
