The Compleat Naturalist nature store and wildlife art gallery was founded in 1992 in Historic Biltmore Village, Asheville NC, by Hal and Laura Mahan. The Mahans are professional naturalists with extensive backgrounds in natural history museums and science education. Prior to opening The Compleat Naturalist, Dr. Hal Mahan (Ph.D in Zoology) served as director of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and the San Diego Natural History Museum, and Laura Mahan (M.S. in biology) was head of education at both the Cleveland and San Diego museums. Laura was recently elected to the Board of Directors of Discover Life in America (www.DLIA.org) which oversees the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The store carries merchandise relating to all fields of nature study: birds, botany, astronomy, entomology, geology, mineralogy, anthropology, and paleontology. In addition to retail activities, The Compleat Naturalist maintains an educational mission by offering a variety of classes and field trips. The Compleat Naturalist is another "Must See" for any visit to Asheville.
