  Once an Army base, the Presidio is a unique national park located in San Francisco at the edge of the Golden Gate. With 1500 acres rich with history, nature, and open space, the Presidio contains hundreds of restored former military buildings animated by more than 3,000 residents and 200 companies, including high tech start-ups, innovative non-profits, and other organizations that offer a welcoming mix of visitor experiences. The park also offers a mosaic of wildlife communities, including the newly re-introduced native Pacific chorus frog, Forktail damselflies, California Floater mussels, Western Pond turtle, stickleback, over 30 butterfly species, 60 bee species, and one of the most diverse communities of migratory birds in the world with over 200 different species spotted. The Presidio also contains 991 acres of open space with 330 native plant species and 14 native plant communities, historic gardens and forests, restored and remnant wetlands, sand dunes, grasslands, a freshwater lake, and a salt marsh. On any given day at the Presidio, youll find organizations pursuing new ideas, scientists conducting research, and people of all ages volunteering, learning, playing, and exploring.
  
  The successful applicant will join a team of innovative natural resources stewards, working to restore biodiversity to our changing landscape. Our ideal candidate is enthusiastic about their work, and enjoys the day-to-day challenges of natural resources program management and interacting with local communities, volunteers, colleagues, tenants, and visitors. You have a strong commitment to technical excellence; a keen ability to build meaningful and functional partnerships with a variety of entities; and are an exemplary manager, ambassador, and collaborator with a cooperative communication style.
