The High Line Canal Conservancy is a nonprofit dedicated to preserving, protecting, and enhancing the 71-mile High Line Canal—a historic 140-year-old irrigation corridor that has evolved into a vital recreational, ecological, and green stormwater asset. In this role, the Natural Resources Manager leads the planning, coordination, and implementation of natural resource management and restoration efforts along the Canal. Working closely with jurisdictional partners, foresters, ecologists, planners, and community stakeholders, this position advances the Canal-wide Natural Resources Management Plan, oversees tree planting and ecological restoration projects, manages maintenance contracts and data systems, and helps integrate community engagement and volunteer stewardship into long-term care strategies. The role also contributes to organizational partnerships, communications, and on-the-ground operations, supporting a collaborative vision for a healthy, resilient Canal corridor.
