Boardman River Program
In partnership with many local organizations, the GTCD coordinates a comprehensive effort to stabilize eroding stream banks on the Boardman River and its tributaries and to protect sensitive lands critical to maintaining the river’s high quality.
Parkland Management Program
Under an agreement with Grand Traverse County, Traverse City, Traverse City Light & Power and Rotary Charities, the GTCD manages publicly-held lands along the Boardman River; specifically the Natural Education Reserve and the Brown Bridge Quiet Area. Activities include development and implementation of management plans, oversight of construction projects, and monitoring of hydroelectric dams.
