Jefferson Land Trust’s Board of Directors is seeking two community members to serve on the seven-member volunteer Chimacum Ridge Community Forest Board of Managers. The Community Forest Board of Managers is overseeing the establishment and operation of Chimacum Ridge Community Forest, which is slated to open to the public in September of 2025 and will be managed to offer a balance of economic, environmental, and social benefits to our community.
Community Forest Board of Managers volunteers are asked to make a minimum three-year commitment to the role, with monthly and yearly time requirements.
Residents of East Jefferson County with enthusiasm for Jefferson Land Trust’s mission and a strong interest in community forests are encouraged to apply. To be considered for the role, community members should have skills and experience directly related to the management and development of a community forest, deep knowledge of the local community, and good leadership, listening, and strategic thinking skills.
Interested candidates should also be able to engage with the public and synthesize feedback from members of three forest advisory groups that meet quarterly and advise on the social, economic, and ecological aspects of the community forest.
To apply and get more information about the Chimacum Ridge Community Forest Board of Managers, please visit www.saveland.org/chimacum-ridge-board. The deadline to apply is midnight, Sunday, May 18, 2025.
