19 Millennium - Eighteenth Edition ARCHITECTURE, CONSTRUCTION AND REAL ESTATE Inspired by his father, a celebrated researcher, professor emeritus at the College of Environmental Science and Forestry at Syracuse, and senior lecturer at Harvard, Tim A. Craul pursued a career in soil science. He obtained a Bachelor of Science in agronomy from The Pennsylvania State University in 1984, going on to become a senior soil scientist for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. For over 20 years, he served the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service, as a soil scientist, rising to become a soil specialist and project leader. He left in 2012 as the organization’s MLRA 147 soil survey team leader, overseeing counties in four states and approximately 13.2 million acres of land across Pennsylvania. After earning a Master of Science in soil science from The Pennsylvania State University in 2000, Mr. Craul established Craul Land Scientists, where he remains the company’s president. At Craul Land Scientists, he works with landscape architects to ensure their designs and projects adhere to environmental standards and that the soil composition retains the properties necessary for sustainable plant growth. In recognition of his engineering and design excellence, Mr. Craul has been the recipient of awards from the Illinois Society of Civil Engineers and the Catholic Diocese of Wheeling, and he was presented with a merit award for his work on Shoemaker Green from the Society for College and University Planning. He is a member of the American Society of Landscape Architects, the Pennsylvania Association of Professional Soil Scientists and the Soil Science Society of America and is a past predicant of the Pennsylvania Association of Soil Scientists. As an expert in his field, Mr. Craul has published extensively and is the author of two books about urban soils, and he looks forward to completing his third. To that end, he plans to dedicate more time to lecturing and undertake fewer projects. At present, he is managing more than 30 active projects with an eye toward quality and longevity. TIMOTHY A.
