Halifax, Canada Nova Scotia Nature Trust Full time

**Are you a conservation-minded individual with a love for Nova Scotia’s wild spaces and a desire to hibernate during the winter while mapping and writing conservation-related documents? The Nova Scotia Nature Trust is seeking a new Land Management Coordinator to join its stewardship team for the next year (with the possibility of an extension). The Nature Trust’s successes in doubling our land require an added pair of hands to write baseline documents about new conservation lands and stewardship plans for how to care for them. They also require an organized individual who is able to work with contractors and volunteers alike to address the ever-changing and unusual list of stewardship challenges on our land. During the field season, this extra pair of hands would also assist with baseline field visits on new properties across the province, which would include bushwhacking and possibly travel by boat. This is a role for an energetic individual who loves technical writing and problem-solving.**

- Manage stewardship projects on Nature Trust land.

- Perform stewardship activities such as boundary maintenance, signage installation, and invasive species removal.

**Communications Responsibilities**
- Offer ecological background to the fundraising and communications teams as needed
- Draft social media posts and occasionally contribute to Landlines, the Nature Trust newsletter.

**Administrative/Technical Responsibilities**:

- Provide mapping and GIS resources to support stewardship and the conservation team.
- Document activities on Nature Trust land using Landscape, the stewardship database.

**Financial Responsibilities**:

- Carry out required activities within delegated authority and in compliance with Nature Trust financial policies and procedures.

**Other responsibilities as required**

**Qualifications and Education Requirements**:

- GIS capabilities, including the ability to use ArcGIS Pro to create and modify maps, extract data and inform decisions.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel), and willingness to learn and use the stewardship database, Landscape.
- Ability to write technical reports quickly and well (several per week during the winter).
- Knowledge of Nova Scotia’s terrestrial species and Species at Risk (SAR), and associated threats.
- Ability to identify common NS terrestrial species (plants, birds, mammals and herptiles) in the field.
- Ability to navigate varied terrain on foot, over long distances, using GPS or compass.
- Ability to be flexible and work in an unstructured environment.
