Summary: 

The Nature Conservancy’s Oregon Fire Partnership program is working to support prescribed fire planning, implementation, and monitoring across the fire-adapted forests of Oregon. The goal of the OR-FIRE Project is to support healthy and resilient ecosystems and fire-adapted communities by creating, training, and deploying interorganizational, place-based prescribed fire capacity, rooted in a diverse and inclusive fire management culture. The Prescribed Fire Module Crewmembers will be employees of The Nature Conservancy, based in one of three focal geographies working on a 4 to 10-person prescribed fire module. For approximately 6 months per year (mid-May through November), the Module Crewmember will work closely with the module leader, and partner organizations such as the U.S. Forest Service and other local, state, federal, NGO, university, and Tribal partners, in preparing, conducting, and evaluating/monitoring prescribed fire/fuels management activities in Oregon. The Crewmembers will be expected to travel frequently within their focal area for prescribed fire assignments, and may be asked to travel to other geographies in the state depending on burn window availability and project needs.
