Job Announcement – Stewardship Operations Forester

Overview
Lomakatsi Restoration Project, a non-profit organization based in Ashland, Oregon, seeks a qualified
forestry professional with demonstrated experience in commercial timber harvest operations
management to join our growing team for full-time employment. This position will have the
opportunity to work across the diverse ecosystems of Oregon and Northern California, in partnership
with Tribes, federal, state and municipal agencies, and other nongovernmental organizations to help
design and implement large-scale stewardship initiatives. The Stewardship Operations Forester will

Applicants should be skilled and experienced in preforming a variety of essential forestry tasks
including timber cruising; timber harvest inspections and reporting; layout and marking of
restoration-focused commercial thinning projects; collecting and managing forest inventory data;
using GIS to prepare maps; and writing and interpreting ecologically-focused silvicultural plans.
Applicants should also be experienced in overseeing regulatory and NEPA compliance, and
commercial restoration-based timber harvest sub-contractor accountability.

A majority of this position’s work will be done in the field, working independently or with other
foresters, technical forestry personnel and specialists. The remaining office time will be dedicated
to producing maps, plans and reports. The position is based out of Ashland, Oregon, with travel
(sometimes overnight) required as needed to Lomakatsi’s project sites across Oregon and
Northern California.

3-5 years of field work experience in applied forestry (restoration-based preferred)
Experience with cruising, cruise design and using cruising software
Practical knowledge of forestry operations and logging systems
Competency in the use of technical forestry equipment: GPS/GIS, navigation, data

Ability to work independently and as a member of a team
Possession of a valid driver’s license
Physically fit to orient, navigate and hike in rough terrain using map, compass and GPS
Ability to identify native trees and shrubs

About Us
Lomakatsi is a non-profit organization that develops and implements forest and watershed
restoration initiatives, programs and projects throughout Oregon and Northern California. Our
mission is to restore ecosystems and the sustainability of communities, cultures, and economies.

For over 26 years, Lomakatsi has implemented ecosystem restoration projects across thousands
of acres of forests and miles of streams. We work closely with federal, tribal, state, municipal and
non-profit partners, building innovative, collaborative stewardship initiatives across all-lands.
Lomakatsi is currently managing eight landscape-scale terrestrial and aquatic restoration
agreements with projects in various stages of development, working across multiple states and
watersheds. Our holistic, ecologically-based restoration work enhances wildlife habitat, helps
safeguard ecosystem services, and reduces the risk of wildfire to communities. We serve as a lead
partner and sponsor on several nationally-recognized projects and initiatives.

Lomakatsi also brings added capacity to address socio-economic challenges for rural forest- and
rangeland-based communities, by layering in our education, tribal partnerships, and workforce
training and development programs into initiatives and projects. Through the operation of 10
programs, our staff of restoration practitioners, foresters, ecologists, cultural resource specialists,
workforce trainers, and educators work to increase community understanding and involvement in
forest and watershed restoration. Learn more at https://lomakatsi.org/.
