About Us

The Osborne Partners for Education Endowment Fund was started by Susi Nehls and Roy Blair in memory of Susi's father, Dr. Joe Hickey. Dr. Hickey's research led to the legislation that protected birds of prey like the bald eagle. Dr. Hickey's passion for teaching others about the natural world was sparked early by adults who introduced him to the wonders of nature.

Mission

As part of its overall mission, the Clayton County Conservation Board encourages appreciation and responsible use of our natural resources and cultural heritage. The Board manages over 25 natural areas in Clayton County, with the Osborne Conservation Center as its headquarters. Since its creation in 1958, the Conservation Board's guiding force has been to provide nature education to students and the general public.
