Conservation Lands Manager

The Conservation Lands Manager will plan and implement management on 6,300 (and growing) acres of GLLT’s fee-owned conservation lands. The role also supports the stewardship of 3,600 acres of conservation easement lands and other program functions as directed. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in forest resources and play a key role in implementing and advancing our Forestry for Resilience initiative, which is aimed at restoring and building resilient forests across western Maine.
