Todd Vigland
Land Protection Specialist
A native of Benzie County, Todd grew up sailing Crystal Lake and hiking Lake Michigan dunes. Todd completed a bachelor’s degree at Michigan State University in Landscape Architecture which included a semester of study in Europe and later returned to MSU for a masters program in Urban and Regional Planning. In the early 90′s, Todd began his career at GTRLC doing seasonal stewardship work for three years. He then headed to Maryland, where he spent four years preserving farmland and critical Chesapeake Bay shoreline at the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy. Thankfully, he returned to GTRLC in 2002 and now focuses primarily on preserving the best of the Chain of Lakes and Jordan River watersheds. Todd resides in Traverse City with his wife Susan where both can often be found on a trail or in a boat.
