Growing up outside Concord, Massachusetts, in a farmhouse built before the Revolution, Jim spent most of his free time looking through natural history books and exploring surrounding woods, swamps, and fields.  When his family moved to the Rochester area, he transferred his interests to the landscape of Western NY.

His affinity for nature and open space initially led toward drawing and painting, and a career in fine art.  You can learn about his nationally-recognized Itinerant Artist Project at his website: www.jimmott.com.

Jim pursued a degree in environmental science/water resources from SUNY Brockport. He subsequently worked for 15 years as a freelance environmental consultant, with clients including The Nature Conservancy, Western New York Land Conservancy, and Ducks Unlimited, before happily joining the Genesee Valley Conservancy.
