Cranbrook, Canada The Nature Trust of BC Full time

The Nature Trust of British Columbia (NTBC) is a leading non-profit land conservation organization dedicated to protecting the natural riches of British Columbia by securing, restoring and caring for B.C.’s ecologically significant habitats. Since 1971, The Nature Trust of BC and its partners have conserved over 180,000 acres of ecologically vulnerable wetlands, grasslands, and forests for generations to come. In order to help care for the land, NTBC and our partners fund comprehensive land management activities on conservation areas throughout the province, including the Kootenay Region.

NTBC is seeking an enthusiastic and motivated team player to join us in the Kootenay Region as a Field Operations Coordinator; this term contract ends in March 2026, with the possibility for the role to become permanent.

- Public education, outreach, and compliance efforts, as necessary.
- Coordinate and implement volunteer work events, as necessary.
