History
The Natural Resources Division was created in 1996 as part of a county reorganization to better manage environmental stewardship. This restructuring helped the county strengthen how it oversees conservation and resource protection across the region.

Practical
County services are best accessed during regular business hours on weekdays when all departments are fully staffed. It helps to know ahead of time which service you need so you can go directly to the right department.
