Conservation Project Director, Mendocino Land Trust

The Mendocino Land Trust (MLT) is looking for a Conservation Project Director who is passionate about land conservation and is interested in growing with our organization. This position will be primarily focused on building relationships with and assisting landowners of working lands in Mendocino County with an emphasis on inland properties such as farms, ranches, vineyards, and working forests, to voluntarily conserve their lands with conservation easements. However, the position will also be responsible for the conservation of coastal properties through its supervision of a Conservation Project Manager with a coastal focus. The position is a combination of fostering connections in the inland community and completing transactional work involved with completing conservation easements and other conservation projects. This position involves working with team members on conservation projects, land acquisition and land bequests and will report to the Executive Director as part of the Conservation Team. Candidates must be able to work independently and as part of a team in a variety of settings including outdoors, shared office space and remotely. The position may require occasional travel as projects may spread throughout Northern California. This is a flexible half-time to full-time position - we are seeking the right candidate and will consider schedules with a minimum of 20 hours per week. While our main office is based in Fort Bragg, California, the ideal candidate will be focused on working remotely, ideally, from Inland Mendocino County, with weekly trips to the Fort Bragg office. The ideal candidate will have deep connections in Inland Mendocino County and within the working lands community. This position involves having the ability to visit property owners in the Inland area frequently.
