Tim Engelhardt - Director

Tim began his career with the Clayton County Conservation Board as a naturalist in 1991. In 1999, Tim was hired as the director for the department and learned a lot during two major flooding events that year. Tim enjoys the variety and challenges the position offers, but mostly the people he works with and the visitors who come through to enjoy the many activities offered in your Clayton County Parks.
