Upper Savannah Land Trust (USLT) seeks an Associate or Assistant Director to expand its capacity and leadership in land conservation. The western Piedmont of South Carolina is a stronghold of rural working lands, critical watersheds, unique habitats, and compelling history. Since 2000, USLT has been working with private landowners to protect the rural character of an eight-county area. Development pressure and property value, driven by the neighboring metropolitan areas of Greenville/Spartanburg, Columbia, and North Augusta, increasingly threaten the rural, natural, and historic character of our operating area. Accredited since 2018, USLT successfully renewed its status with the Land Trust Accreditation Commission in 2023 and seeks an experienced practitioner of conservation easements to better meet the demand for additional protection, and better steward the 56,000 acres of conservation easement lands already in its portfolio. Over its 23-year history, the USLT organization has evolved from all-volunteer and Board-operated, to part-time contract-staff, consisting of an experienced Executive Director (ED) with occasional administrative, accounting, and legal support, now adding a full-time employee with this new position. USLT’s long-term stewardship fund recently surpassed the $1 million mark and is a testament to strong community support and commitment to financial sustainability.
