ALAN TONEY, CHAIR, FULTON COUNTY CONSERVATION DISTRICT
Growing up in the Atlanta area as a fourth generation Atlantan, Alan had the pleasure of exploring Georgia’s waterways at places like Lake Lanier and in ponds and rivers near his home. An avid outdoorsman, Alan is a trained naturalist and enjoys spending his time studying the outdoors, fly fishing, and visiting places like Yellowstone National Park.
After retiring from a career in corporate finance, Alan was able to continue his devotion to the outdoors. As an extremely active volunteer for the Chattahoochee Riverkeepers, Alan has collected over a thousand water samples that provide vital information on the health of the waterways in the area.
A few of Alan’s notable accomplishments include:
Serving as Vice Chair of the Atlanta Regional Commission’s Regional Atlanta Development Planning Committee during the implementation of Metropolitan River Protection Act
Serving as a member of Friends of the River and helping to create the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area
Serving as the Treasurer for Friends of Lost Corner that supports the local nature preserve
Being nominated for the Cox Conserve Hero Award in 2015
Currently serving chairman of the Fulton County SWCD where he has been a supervisor since 1995
Fellow district supervisor, Jason Ulseth says this about Alan- “I have known Alan for more than 15 years and he is one of the most dedicated District Supervisors I’ve ever worked with. He’s also a committed volunteer to help the environment and his local community.”
The GACD Hall of Fame preserves the history of the conservation movement in Georgia by recognizing individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to soil and water conservation.
Congratulations to Alan Toney , the 2021 GACD Supervisor Hall of Fame Inductee.
