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.
