The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in Oregon works to create a world where people and nature thrive. TNC has been working on dry forest and fire management issues in Southern Oregon for more than 20 years. The Southern Oregon Forest Restoration Project Manager will support priority forest restoration and conservation projects in two primary geographies – the Rogue Basin of Southwest Oregon and the Upper Klamath Basin of Southcentral Oregon – collaborating with a range of key partners on this work. The principal goal of TNC’s Oregon Dry Forests and Fire program is to advance ecologically based forest restoration projects and beneficial fire use across Oregon’s seasonally dry, fire-adapted forests through projects and activities focused on: 1) dry forest and fire science; 2) place-based, on-the-ground demonstration projects; 3) advocacy for key policies, programs, and funding that support this work, and; 4) partnerships with and support for Indigenous-led stewardship. This work also contributes to TNC’s Western Dry Forests Program, a multi-state, West-wide initiative to restore the resilience of Western forests to wildfire and climate change. As a member of the Resilient Forests and Communities (RFC) Strategy team, the Project Manager will report to the Forest Strategy Director. The preferred location for this position is Ashland, Oregon or surrounding communities, with a secondary option for Klamath Falls, Oregon. The position will require frequent travel (~25-30% of time), including a mix of full day trips and overnight trips within Southern Oregon for partner meetings and project visits, to TNC meetings and trainings around Oregon, and other locations in and out of state.
