Abby Gartland
Director of Preserve Stewardship
Abby joined the Stewardship Staff in 2001 following the completion of her B.S. in Fisheries and Wildlife from Michigan State University. She spends much of her personal and work time tromping in the woods learning about and enjoying the unique flora and fauna of NW Lower Michigan. Although Abby envisions Michigan as her home base she hopes to travel extensively, double her life list (at least!) and experience as much of the natural world as she can. With the support of the Stewardship Team, Abby is responsible for much of the biological work at GTRLC’s nature preserves including completing baseline inventories of the flora and fauna on site; she also manages the invasive species program.
