Overview
Lomakatsi Restoration Project, a nonprofit forest and watershed restoration organization based in Ashland,
Oregon, seeks a qualified forestry professional with demonstrated experience in restoration forestry and
project management to join our team in a full‑time position.

As we expand our footprint into north‑central Oregon, this position will be based in or near Deschutes,
Jefferson, or Wasco counties—serving communities such as Bend, Redmond, Madras, Warm Springs, and The
Dalles. The role supports planning and implementation of restoration forestry, fuels reduction, and forest
health projects across federal, state, tribal, municipal, and private lands, working closely with multiple
partners and contractors to advance strategic, large‑scale stewardship initiatives.

This position plays a key role in growing Lomakatsi’s work within the Mt. Hood National Forest and
surrounding landscapes, strengthening partnerships and advancing active forest management, hazardous
fuels reduction, and landscape‑scale restoration aligned with federal, state, and tribal priorities to increase
the pace and scale of work on the ground.

Position Summary
The Restoration Forestry Project Manager provides leadership, coordination, and technical oversight for
ecological restoration projects—including fuels reduction, prescribed fire preparation, and forest health
treatments. The position manages complex, multi-partner projects that integrate applied ecological science
with operational forestry and contract implementation.

This role works closely with land management agencies, contractors, and Lomakatsi’s interdisciplinary staff to
ensure high-quality project planning, field execution, safety, compliance, and reporting. Success in this
position requires strong field leadership, clear communication, and the ability to operate effectively in
dynamic outdoor and operational environments.

Partnership and Communication

landowners.

Represent Lomakatsi at project meetings, planning sessions, and field reviews.
Communicate project objectives, methods, schedules, and outcomes clearly to partners and stakeholders.

Compliance, Documentation, and Reporting
• Ensure project activities comply with environmental regulations, land management standards, and contract
requirements.

Track project accomplishments including acres treated, implementation status, and performance metrics.
Prepare clear maps, reports, and supporting documentation for partners and funders.
Support budgeting, invoicing support documentation, and contract administration in coordination with

operations staff.

Prescribed Fire Support
• Assist with planning and preparation for prescribed fire operations.

Coordinate with qualified fire personnel and partners to meet burn objectives.
Participate in burn operations when qualified and assigned.

About Us
Lomakatsi is a nonprofit 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 30 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 nonprofit partners to build 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 watersheds in
two states and ten counties. Our science-based restoration work enhances wildlife habitat, helps safeguard
ecosystem services, and reduced 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, workforce trainers and educators work to increase community
understanding and involvement in forest and watershed restoration. Learn more at https://lomakatsi.org/.
