Grand Traverse Conservation District is a regional environmental services organization based in Traverse City, Michigan, dedicated to caring for the people and places of Northwest Michigan. For more than seven decades it has supported sustainable farming, protected waterways such as the Boardman River, and maintained parklands with public access, guided by a framework built on stewardship, education, parklands, and agriculture. The district operates from the Boardman River Nature Center, a community-driven hub that hosts interpretive experiences intended to connect residents and visitors with the natural environment. Its work encompasses hands-on land management and community outreach to foster outdoor learning and natural-resource stewardship.

Serving a broad local audience, the organization partners with farmers and local communities to safeguard natural resources while ensuring healthy agricultural production, park access, and environmental education. It positions itself within the environmental services sector as a regional conservancy that combines land stewardship with public programming and education to sustain the region’s natural landscapes and economy. Recent developments include collaboration with Traverse City to revive day camp programs at Hickory Hills and a significant investment in the Great Lakes Incubator Farm project to support new farming ventures.
