TRAVERSE CITY, MICH. Love Northern Michigan’s great outdoors and want to keep it pristine? You might be just the kind of volunteer that a Traverse City-based conservation organization is seeking.
The Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy is putting out a call for volunteers to pitch in on upcoming and ongoing work, including multiple trail building projects, invasive species removal efforts, the opening of new nature preserves, and maintaining the care for more than 10,000 acres of land.

After a generous gift, the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy is ready to start work on a nature preserve this spring.
Marty and Valerie Cotanche gave a $1 million gift. This donation finishes the fundraising for the Torch River Ridge Nature Preserve.
The 290-acre property in Antrim County is south of Torch Lake along Torch River and runs to the north side of Skegemog Lake.
The conservancy plans to work on the four miles of trails on the property for the public to enjoy.
This wouldn’t be possible without previous owner Bill Weiss offering the land at a generous sale.
