Land trust manager

Land trust managers oversee the protection and stewardship of conserved land. The work involves negotiating conservation easements, building relationships with landowners, monitoring protected properties, managing ecological stewardship, and handling the legal and administrative side of conserving land in perpetuity.

They work for land trusts and conservation organisations. The role suits diplomatic, ecologically minded people who can combine relationship-building and negotiation with conservation knowledge and the long-term stewardship that protecting land forever requires, balancing landowner interests with conservation goals.
