The Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy is a nonprofit land trust based in Traverse City, Michigan, with a focus on protecting natural, scenic, farm, and forest lands across five northern Michigan counties. For more than two decades, it has safeguarded tens of thousands of acres and extensive shoreline along regional rivers, lakes, and streams, relying on support from individual donors, foundations, volunteers, and collaborations with government agencies. The organization operates as a fully accredited, 501(c)(3) entity with its own bylaws, policies, board, budget, and staff, pursuing its mission to conserve significant landscapes and to advance stewardship for current and future generations. Its work centers on land protection and stewardship, serving communities and ecosystems within its service area.

Recent activity highlights notable acquisitions and partnerships, including a substantial 35-acre land purchase in Elberta, Alabama in 2024, funded through gifts, pledges, and an interest-free loan from an anonymous donor, reflecting its ongoing asset development. The Conservancy also engages the public through events and collaborations—such as joint watershed stewardship efforts and participation in film festival programming—illustrating its role in community education and conservation outreach alongside local organizations and partners.
