Full Job Description

Land Stewardship Manager

Willowsford Conservancy manages 2,300 acres of land in Loudoun County, Virginia, comprised of a 200-acre farm and 2,100 acres of woodlands, meadows, and wetlands preserved for the Willowsford community, a development of more than 2,700 homes in four neighborhoods. The only “Agrihood” in the Washington, DC area, Willowsford is part of a growing movement for residential environmental sustainability where healthy people and healthy land coexist.

The Conservancy was established more than a decade ago to protect land and promote conservation and sustainable farming so that people in the Willowsford communities discover a deeper connection to nature and to each other. The Conservancy integrates a working farm with community-supported agriculture (CSA) shares and nearly 40 miles of trails, camping amenities, and other recreational facilities to promote connection to nature. In addition, our team engages with the greater community through events and educational programs, volunteer opportunities, and various communication channels.
