Job submitted on 02/08/2013
About the Organization
Palmer Land Trust is a 501(c)(3) conservation organization working to preserve the remarkable open lands across southeastern Colorado. Since its inception in 1977, the organization has protected nearly 75,000 acres of public open spaces, working ranches, scenic areas, and important habitat in the Pikes Peak region and Lower Arkansas Valley-making it one of the twenty-five largest land trusts in the country based on conservation easement holdings.
Position Description
Reporting to the Managing Director at Palmer Land Trust (PLT), the Director of Land Stewardship will oversee a unique and evolving stewardship program..

He or she must have proven program development and management experience and, at the same time, possess the skill set required to effectively manage complex conservation easement compliance requirements. Highly developed organizational skills are a must. PLT estimates that half of the Director's time will be devoted to compliance matters; the other half will be devoted to developing and managing the community engagement program. Central to both these endeavors is the ability to develop meaningful landowner relationships that make conservation easement compliance a partnership effort and enable PLT to serve landowners and conservation partners by meeting other needs they might have. The Director will be responsible for overseeing the work of contractors, as well as other staff, who will be conducting the majority of monitoring visits on PLT's 119 conserved properties.
Core Responsibilities

Coordinate reviews of baseline reports, environmental assessments, biological inventories, and/or management plans.
Respond to easement violations, management issues, and requests to activate reserved rights.

Additional Responsibilities
Coordinate or assist with e-news, print, and other outreach materials such as annual reports and newsletters.
Contribute to Palmer Land Trust website and social media pages.
Other duties and special projects as assigned.
