Land Stewardship Associate

Asthe Land Stewardship Associate, you will be pivotal to the success of Sempervirens Fund’s redwood conservation efforts by providing support on all aspects of land stewardship activities. On any given day, you may drive to a remote property for a site monitoring visit to document site conditions and map invasive species, and then meet with a neighbor or agency representative to discuss an ongoing restoration project. You might then end your day updating GIS files and drafting contracts for upcoming projects. You will thrive in this role if you have land management experience with a demonstrated knowledge of the natural history and ecology of the Santa Cruz Mountains, or a strong interest in developing this expertise. You must excel at balancing tasks and projects, and developing and maintaining interpersonal relationships with a wide range of people. It is essential that you have strong prioritization skills and flexible work habits, as well as attention to detail and persistence. This is a job for someone who is passionate about conservation and enjoys being out in the woods, but also likes working as part of a team and with external partners. The Land Stewardship Associate reports to the Senior Land Stewardship Manager and supports the Field Operations Manager and Natural Resource Manager. Sempervirens Fund's office is based in Mountain View, but we protect land throughout the Santa Cruz Mountains, which span Santa Cruz, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties. This is a full-time, exempt position and is remotefrom-home with frequent day trips to the Santa Cruz Mountains.
