The Preserve Manager will provide resource management in accordance with the conservation values and regulatory requirements of the Preserves, CNLM’s stewardship standards and practices (which also reflect and exceed Land Trust Accreditation Commission standards) and Preserve Management Plans. This position requires maintenance of a home office for which CNLM provides a stipend. A company vehicle may be provided at management’s discretion. There is a considerable degree of autonomy (and responsibility) associated with this position because of CNLM’s organizational structure which focuses on preserve management rather than high levels of administration and supervision. Supervision will be provided by the Regional Preserve Manager – Central California and by the Director of Conservation Science and Stewardship. In addition to the management of the above-mentioned Preserves, the Preserve Manager will contribute to CNLM’s expertise and documentation of ‘best management practices’ for managing grassland, shrubland, and savanna habitats, and rare and protected plant and animal species. The Preserve Manager will participate in internal and external stewardship and conservation science events and, as needed, participate in the acquisition of new preserves.
