The Forest Stewards Guild is hiring a full-time Forestry and Fuels Coordinator to support forest contractors and implement forest resilience projects on private and federal lands. This role builds upon the 2-3-2 Cohesive Strategy Partnership and the Rio Chama Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP) to promote forestry projects for small acreage and underserved landowners and build local contractor capacity. We seek a dynamic and collaborative leader who is outgoing, personable, and skilled at connecting with individuals and groups. This role requires excellent listening skills and the ability to foster relationships with diverse partners and the public.

Responsibilities include:

• Advancing resilient forestry by working with a team to develop strategies and build partnerships that benefit underserved and small-acreage forest landowners
• Supporting the delivery of technical forest and fire management services with other Guild staff and/or contractors.
• Seeking opportunities to increase treatments on non-federal lands by identifying linkages between the federally funded CFLRP, federally managed lands, and non-federally managed lands.
• Addressing challenges such as limited contractors, information access, and lack of partnerships that hinder climate-adaptive stewardship efforts.
• Building trust, improve forest health, and increase landowner participation in resilient forestry practices through one-on-one conversations, deep listening, and follow through.
• Engaging with small-acreage and underserved landowners to foster emerging markets.
• Working with the Senior Forester to identify and prepare forestry treatments on privately and federally managed lands.
• Leading outreach to perspective land stewards.
• Working with New Mexico State Forestry Division, Colorado State Forest Service, and US Forest Service to find willing landowners as well as look for opportunities to develop opportunities to work across boundaries.
• Conducting site visits to discuss resilient forestry practices, in line with the Guild’s principles, and project funding.
• And more!
