    Position Description

    This position is located within the Department of Conservation & Natural Resources (NDCNR), Division of State Lands located in Carson City, Nevada.

    As a member of the Nevada Tahoe Resource Team, this position is responsible for conducting inspections and implementing urban forestry projects on nearly 500 state-owned parcels in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Through collaboration and cooperative efforts with an interdisciplinary team, this position administers, coordinates, and oversees forest management activities of the Urban Lots Program including but not limited to hazardous fuels reduction and prescribed burning, debris and trash removal, weed identification and removal, and revegetation to promote sediment and erosion control, biodiversity, and wildlife habitat enhancement.

The position also provides information to homeowners and residents on best management practices for natural resource protection including forest health, stewardship, wildlife habitat, defensible space, fuels reduction, and fire-resilient landscapes.


    The position represents the Nevada Tahoe Resource Team and Division of State Lands at various meetings, workshops, events, and site visits regarding forest health and natural resource issues. The position provides technical assistance to federal, state, tribal, and local governments, and private landowners on hazardous fuels management, urban and community forestry, and watershed and forest stewardship. The duties of the position require the incumbent to establish and maintain cooperative working relationships and agreements with agencies and organizations involved in resource management, fire protection, and emergency services.

    Project management activities and inspections require regular travel throughout the Lake Tahoe region, the ability to work independently, and involve work in arduous terrain and inclement weather.
