CONSERVATION PROJECTS MANAGER
  fULL JOB ANNOUNCEMENT 
PLT is seeking a highly-motivated, detail-oriented, and personable Conservation Projects Manager to serve an essential position on our growing team. 

The Conservation Projects Manager serves as a key team member responsible for all land protection projects that further advance PLT’s mission of connecting communities and the lands we love through the conservation of open space, working agricultural lands and forests, Palouse prairie, wildlands, waterways, and wildlife habitat corridors. The ideal candidate will possess a strong conservation ethic and have a demonstrated ability to manage projects and grants with exceptional attention to detail. This position requires excellent interpersonal and communication skills.

All positions at Palouse Land Trust are active in the organization’s commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion, and will participate in efforts to integrate these values into PLT’s daily operations and program governance.

about the palouse land trust
        
Palouse Land Trust (PLT) is a nationally-accredited nonprofit organization working for land conservation. Our service area spans a large region in north-central Idaho and Whitman County, Washington. From the breaks of majestic river canyons, to the coniferous forests of the western Rockies, to the rolling hills of the Palouse Prairie, we advance land conservation in a stunning and unique part of the world.

With a 27-year successful track record fueled by a deep community embrace, we work with willing landowners and partners to protect our lands and waters that provide our food and fiber, fish and wildlife, and open space. We understand the essential value of open space and working agriculture and forest lands to our community identity and economic vitality. We view the owners of private lands as stewards and work with them to keep them on the land by utilizing nonprofit land acquisition techniques and sound business practices.         

We own and manage Idlers Rest Nature Preserve, providing year-round public access to hiking trails at the base of Moscow Mountain. We also own and manage the Dave Skinner Ecological Preserve where a Palouse Prairie habitat lies within and is managed for its biodiversity values.

the community
    
     
The Palouse Land Trust is headquartered in Moscow, Idaho, and just 8 miles from Pullman, Washington. Both communities blend the advantages of rural life with access to the arts, education and culture that can only come from being home to two world-class universities: the University of Idaho and Washington State University. 

Moscow is home to award-winning restaurants and breweries, Idaho’s #1 ranked Farmers Market, a historic and vital downtown, a fantastic food co-op (within walking distance from the PLT office) and internationally-recognized cultural events like the annual Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival. 

Pullman, just 8 miles from Moscow, was recently named in Sunset Magazine’s “10 Best College Towns in the West” list. Pullman is home to innovative restaurants, impressive art galleries, Pac-12 NCAA athletics and a vibrant university culture. 

The area offers unparalleled access to outdoor activities like hiking, hunting, biking, camping, backpacking, skiing, fishing and white-water sports. 

Perhaps most importantly, we’re located in a community that embraces the Land Trust mission and vision for our region.
