Northern Rockies Operations Coordinator
Bozeman, MTTrust for Public Land (TPL) creates parks and protects land for people, ensuring healthy, livable communities for generations to come. Since 1972, TPL has protected more than 3.7 million acres, connected 9.3 million people to the outdoors, created or transformed more than 5,100 parks, playgrounds, and gardens, and developed more than 2,000 miles of trails across the United States. TPL has also helped states and local communities generate over $84 billion in new public funds for parks and open space. With over thirty offices across the country, TPL’s vision is to connect everyone to the outdoors.
TPL has been successful over the past twenty years in conserving over 900,000 acres in the Northern Rockies region. We accomplish this conservation through two strategic program areas: (1) The “Conserving the Northern Rockies Large Landscapes” Program protects and enhances the at-risk large landscapes in the region by identifying key private lands within those large landscapes that are at-risk for development and protecting them in perpetuity; and (2) The “Thriving Communities” Program finds opportunities to create parks and trails, and to improve access and connection to parks, trails, schoolyards, and open spaces in and near communities where our work can improve the communities’ quality of life.
The Northern Rockies region (Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming) contains some of the most iconic and ecologically important lands in the Lower 48 states. TPL’s conservation priorities in this region include working with community partners to protect working forestlands, wildlife habitat, public access, water resources, and historical and cultural values, as well as other open space and environmentally important lands. This position will assist in the Northern Rockies office’s success.
