Volunteer Opportunities

GTCD Volunteers
If you have a passion for the out-of-doors and are dedicated to conservation of our natural resources, you can help! Many of the Grand Traverse Conservation District’s programs incorporate a great number of dedicated volunteers who give of themselves through time, talent, and treasure to support conservation efforts. From helping to restore the Boardman River to helping with the preparation for the annual Seedling Sale, a variety of valuable experiences are available. You can roll up your sleeves and pick up the call of nature alongside others who share your interests and commitment to land stewardship!
