A five-member board of directors governs the affairs of the nonprofit corporation. The following individuals are members of the board of directors:

• Coleen Agner is a Taylor County middle-school teacher and an accomplished equestrian. As a volunteer leader for the Taylor County 4-H horse program, Agner runs an equine program that includes a horse club, horse camps, horse shows, and judging. She volunteers with the Live Oak Hounds Pony Club in Thomasville, Ga., and serves on the Florida Farm Bureau Equine Advisory Board.
• Annette Land resides in Branford and is owner of Land Brokerage Realtor. In 2002 she was named "Woman of the Year in Agriculture" by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the Florida State Fair Authority. She is a member of the Florida Cattlemen Association, National Angus Association, Florida Cutting Horse Association, National Cutting Horse Association, and Suwannee River Riding Club.
• Danny Liles is manager of Liles Hardware in Cross City, Florida. Liles is a 34-year veteran of the Cross City volunteer fire department, where he has served as Chief for 22 years. In 2005 he was presented the Ray Warren Community Service Award by the Dixie County Chamber of Commerce.
• Louis Shiver is the Suwannee River Water Management District Governing Board representative on the Board of Directors and serves as its chairman. He is president of Shiver Dairy Farm, Inc. of Mayo and a member of the Suwannee River Partnership, Florida Cattlemen Association, and Southeast Milk, Inc.
• Frank "Red" Schulte is a life-time member of the board of directors. He and his wife Olive owned and lived on the property since the early 1970s, managing the land as a working cattle ranch. Their desire to prevent future subdivision of the property, and their dream of promoting trail riding and other equestrian activities in the area, led to their partnership with the District.
