Why does the job exist?

This position exists to lead and advance large scale wetland and habitat restoration within the Middle Rio Grande Valley, one of New Mexico's most important wintering areas for migratory waterfowl. The Department manages thousands of acres of wetlands, riparian corridors, and managed moist soil units that support tens of thousands of migratory waterfowl each winter, along with an abundant diversity of other native wildlife species.

As the Department expands its conservation footprint and transitions former agricultural lands into functioning wildlife habitat, this role is critical to ensuring that restoration efforts are scientifically sound, operationally effective, and sustainable over the long term.
