By law, the board is established within and administered under the supervision of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The board consists of five members, including the Director of the DNR or a member of the Natural Resources Commission (NRC), and four residents of the state of Michigan appointed by the Governor to four-year terms.

Currently, the MNRTF Board meets six times each year to conduct its business. The primary function of the MNRTF Board is the submission to the Legislature of a priority list of lands recommended for acquisition and/or development. In addition, the MNRTF Board provides guidance to the DNR staff who are responsible for evaluating grant applications, making project recommendations, and administering the projects funded by the MNRTF Program.  The MNRTF Board is made up of the following members:
