Meet Our Team
The Presque Isle Conservation District (PICD) is a local unit of government charged with the mission of conserving, restoring, and protecting local natural resources for the public good and for the long-term stewardship of the land. PICD’s Staff and Board of Directors are devoted to protecting natural areas and ensuring all members of the community have outstanding outdoor recreational opportunities and educational resources to assist them in land stewardship efforts.
PICD manages all lands under its administration and ownership (currently the Herman Vogler Conservation Area) for the highest ethical purpose of the “public commons” and for the benefit and conservation of natural resources. In early 2022, we were designated as the County Enforcement Agency for Presque Isle County's Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Program. Our Staff and Board considers the protection of water quality in our local streams and rivers to be of the highest importance.
Our Board is composed of five community members who all consider it their mission to ensure resident landowners have the technical assistance and resources they need for proper land stewardship, and to help educate others about the unique value of northeast Michigan’s land, waters and its undeveloped wildness. Currently composed of two local farmers, a retired forester, a mother and nonprofit coordinator, and a retired security specialist, the Board is elected to oversee District operations and meets at 1:00pm on the 3rd Tuesday of each month and at 6:00pm during the growing season (May - October).
