The Preserve Manager \u2013 Northern California (Preserve Manager) will practice on-the-ground conservation of populations of rare and endangered species using science-based principles and adaptive management.  This position integrates the full range of applied conservation activities: planning, implementing, budgeting, reporting, analyzing, interpreting, communicating, and problem solving!  The Preserve Manager will play a lead role in the overall stewardship and management of a specific portfolio of preserves in northern California which have been permanently protected for conservation purposes. <\/p>\n

The preserves\u2014that range in size from ~60 to1,400 acres\u2014are characterized as annual and perennial grassland, vernal pools, seasonal and alkali wetlands, and riparian areas.  These preserves support a variety of rare and sensitive species, including state- and federally listed plants and vernal pool invertebrates.  This position offers the opportunity to make a meaningful and direct contribution to the conservation of rare vernal pool and grassland ecosystems and the species that depend on them.<\/p>\n

The Preserve Manager will provide resource management in accordance with the onsite conservation values, any regulatory requirements of the preserves, CNLM\u2019s stewardship standards and practices, and the preserve-specific management plans.  The Preserve Manager will contribute to CNLM\u2019s expertise and documentation of \u201cbest management practices\u201d for managing rare and protected plant and animal species.  There is a considerable degree of autonomy and responsibility associated with the position because of CNLM\u2019s organizational structure, which focuses on preserve management rather than high levels of administration and supervision.<\/p>\n

The position of Preserve Manager requires maintenance of a home office for which CNLM provides a stipend.  A company vehicle may be provided at management\u2019s discretion.<\/p>\n

This is a unique opportunity to play a direct role in conserving some of California\u2019s most sensitive and biologically important landscapes while working with a mission-driven organization dedicated to long-term stewardship and conservation excellence.<\/p>\n
