Director of Conservation<\/h1>\n

Few conservation jobs in the West carry this much weight.<\/p>\n <\/header>\n\n \n

\n The Klamath Basin sits at the crossroads of agriculture, endangered species, tribal\n rights, and federal water policy \u2014 and the decisions made here ripple across the\n West. As our Director of Conservation, you\u2019d lead Klamath Irrigation District\u2019s\n stewardship of water, soil, and habitat: building the science, programs, partnerships,\n and modernized infrastructure that let working farms and a healthy basin share the same\n landscape.\n It\u2019s a director\u2019s seat with real autonomy, real stakes, and a District\n with the will to act. Right now that work includes coordinating the District\u2019s\n Habitat Conservation Plan \u2014 a multi-year effort under the Endangered Species Act\n that this role would help research, shape, and carry forward.\n <\/p>\n\n \n
