Help Us Improve Our Managed Parklands & Trails

GTCD is your local gateway to the Natural World. Using best land management practices and sustainable trail construction techniques, we protect, conserve, and provide access to the natural resources that makes the Grand Traverse region so special.

Through resource management agreements with Grand Traverse County, the City of Traverse City, the Recreational Authority, and Traverse City Rotary Camps & Services, the Grand Traverse Conservation District manages over 2,500 acres of public parkland in Grand Traverse County. Our role in land management includes:

• Management Plan Development

• Oversight and Implementation of parkland improvement projects

• Monitor & Restore Native Habitats

• Provide Community Stewardship Opportunities
