Oregon Agricultural Trust Seeking Ag Lands Program Director

March 9, 2020 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Oregon Agricultural Trust (OAT) seeks an experienced, passionate Ag Lands Program Director to help establish OAT’s farm and ranch land conservation program and our technical assistance program. 

Position duties include conserving ag land in priority areas of the Willamette Valley, working with the Executive Director to identify and build community partnerships in new priority regions, stewarding and monitoring conserved farms and ranches, providing technical assistance on working land preservation to other organizations, and leading OAT’s new Ag Lands Committee of the Board.

Oregon Agricultural Trust (OAT) is a new, statewide land trust that partners with Oregon farmers and ranchers to protect and pass on their land for future generations.  OAT launched in January of 2020 after several years of gathering community feedback on how to provide comprehensive agricultural land protection services throughout the state.  Columbia Land Trust is our fiscal sponsor while our 501(c)(3) status is pending.

 

OAT works collaboratively with regional and statewide partners to hold agricultural easements and ag land in fee title in priority geographies within Oregon.  We also partner with regional leaders to:

  • educate farmers, ranchers, service providers, and the public about preserving and passing on agricultural land;
  • increase the capacity of partner organizations to preserve agricultural land for production; and
  • advocate for programs and incentives that support agricultural land preservation.
