Diversity of experience and skills combined with passion is a key to innovation and a culture of inclusion! Please apply – we’d love to hear from you. To quote a myriad of TNC staff members, “you’ll join for our mission, and you’ll stay for our people.”
What We Can Achieve Together:
As we gain more insight into the evolving and complex threats to the lands and waters on which all life depends, the responsibilities we carry in the act of stewardship must evolve as well. Across the 30,000+ acres that TNC manages in Vermont, it is critical to expand our understanding, learn from the landscape, and adapt to necessary changes to honor the conservation legacy of our home. The Land Management Fellow (2-year limited term position) will be in service of this goal as we further our capacity to manage lands and waters with attention and care.
The Nature Conservancy in Vermont has created this fellowship position with the goal of fostering graduates from historically marginalized communities who are pursuing careers in conservation. We aim to support our fellows so that they are competitive applicants with skills needed for full-time regular service positions at conservation organizations and agencies, and so that they can ultimately become professionals in their field. Candidates who identify with historically marginalized communities, or as first-generation college students, are strongly encouraged to apply.

Through the duration of their time with TNC, the Fellow will play a critical role in essential field operations and conduct follow-up office work to organize and maintain data and records.

Coordinate the effort to standardize and reconcile the breadth of information and data that comprises our management plans.

The supervisor will provide a variety of land management projects, help co-create independent initiatives, and integrate the Fellow into the Vermont team and the organization at large.
