Michael Harwood

Michael Harwood (1934 – 24 November 1989) was a naturalist, environmentalist, and author who was born in Boston and died in San Diego.

Harwood received his secondary education from The Putney School in Vermont and graduated from Harvard University in 1956. He became the third husband of the author Mary B. Durant in 1966.

He was a co-winner of the 1981 John Burroughs Medal for On the Road With John James Audubon, which he co-authored with his wife Mary Durant.
