CNLM is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, created in 1990, whose mission is the
perpetual stewardship of natural and created conservation lands, sensitive species, and
their resident ecosystems. Conservation stewardship activities are practiced on
preserves in California, Oregon, and Washington. CNLM currently has a preserve
portfolio of over 100 preserves that combined represent more than 75,000 acres of high
conservation value.<\/p>\n
The majority (>90) of CNLM\u2019s preserves are in California, encompassing over 70,000
acres throughout the state, with new preserves added intermittently. The preserves
vary in size from three to thousands of acres and are managed under direct ownership,
conservation easements, or management contracts. For purposes of organizational
structure and oversight, CNLM\u2019s California preserves are organized into (currently five)
regions: Northern California, Central California, South Coast, Riverside County, and
San Diego County.<\/p>\n
Central to CNLM\u2019s mission and fundamental to its success are the principles of rigorous
cost estimation for managing conservation areas in perpetuity and application of
appropriate scientific information for conservation and restoration. CNLM staff
developed the iconic \u201cPAR\u201d software and made it available (now through subscription to
the app) to the conservation community to assist with determination of perpetual
stewardship costs. Financial support for CNLM\u2019s conservation activities is primarily
acquired from earnings on investments (endowments) that are professionally managed.
Conservation properties are typically acquired through mitigation processes. As such,
the properties have been well vetted for conservation value and are accompanied by
perpetual stewardship funding. In addition to its fee title properties, CNLM monitors and
defends conservation easements it has been granted over many properties and works
collaboratively with natural resource regulatory agencies to protect and maintain
conservation values.<\/p>\n
CNLM is culturally significant in its focus on rare and vulnerable species, small
populations, and sensitive habitats. Such responsibilities require stewardship staff with
a strong background in natural sciences, the ability to apply principles from conservation
biology with experienced discretion, and a passion for contributing to conservation
success through long-term, on-the-ground, management. To fulfill its conservation
mission, CNLM has a well-established practice of selecting for and investing in excellent
staff.<\/p>\n
Given the dispersed nature of its preserves throughout California, and in Washington
and Oregon, almost all CNLM staff work from home offices\u2014accessing and posting
information in a cloud-based system and maintaining core culture through virtual and inperson (when possible) meetings. CNLM currently maintains a small administrative
office in Temecula, California.<\/p>\n
CNLM offers competitive salary, paid vacation and sick time, and other financial
benefits. Most importantly, we offer the opportunity to work with a team of talented and
committed conservation professionals and to achieve a legacy of substantial
conservation impact.<\/p>\nJob Opportunities:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
