Field Steward Conservancy

As our Field Steward, you will develop, manage, and implement a comprehensive program to protect and enhance natural communities of species through stewardship and restoration activities on conservation lands in the Prairie Forest Border Ecoregion of central and southeastern Minnesota. This includes addressing critical threats to natural systems and individual species, fostering cross-site learning among the conservation community, and supplying conservation planning teams with site or landscape level information relevant to the planning process.

You will also assist with habitat protection and implement a variety of strategies to secure public and private support for TNC conservation priorities. This includes coordinating community support, ensuring the maintenance of preserve areas frequented by the visiting public, and ensuring the maintenance of tools and equipment for conducting stewardship work.

You will supervise land management crews, contract crews, volunteers, and interns in conducting work on lands managed by The Nature Conservancy and partnering agencies. This includes supervising the daily logistics, safety, and productivity of TNC staff, interns, volunteers, and contractors.
