Conservation Lands Manager
About The Position
The conservation lands manager will plan and implement management on 6,300 (and growing) acres of GLLT's fee-owned conservation lands. The role also supports the stewardship of 3,600 acres of conservation easement lands and other program functions as directed. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in forest resources and play a key role in implementing and advancing our Forestry for Resilience initiative, which is aimed at restoring and building resilient forests across western Maine. Approximately 60% of the time will be spent on general land management, while 40% will focus on forestry-related projects. Proportions may shift with the demands of priority projects and funding, particularly related to climate change initiatives on GLLT and the properties of neighboring land trusts. The position reports to the Conservation Director, working closely with the Executive Director. The role requires the employee to work under minimal supervision, with an ability to meet tight deadlines and be reasonably flexible with work time, to include occasional evenings and weekends, particularly in the summer field season. This is a full-time position (40 hours per week) with benefits, renewable upon mutual agreement and satisfactory performance, and contingent upon adequate funding.
