The Local Initiatives Coordinator (LIC) develops, manages and advances Wyoming’s local collaborative and outreach efforts to support our wildlife migration work through engagement with landowners, partner organizations, and use of TNC properties.

The LIC provides support to Wyoming’s wildlife migration program by working with local collaborative groups to address critical threats to wildlife migration and habitat.  The LIC works with landowners and partner organizations to implement conservation strategies and promote private land conservation efforts, including habitat restoration, legal protections, and more. The LIC will plan and implement stewardship projects that support the migration program, including projects on TNC’s properties. The LIC will be responsible for fostering cooperation among conservation partnerships, developing relationships with landowners and community members to promote conservation opportunities, and coordinating community support. The LIC implements community outreach and educational strategies that effectively communicate The Nature Conservancy’s conservation messages and promote its conservation and community-involvement efforts.
