Duties:

• The Presidio Trust is seeking a Tree Crew Supervisor. The Presidio of San Francisco was once an Army base; its now a new kind of national park. The Presidios richly forested and designed setting is one of the Armys most impressive accomplishments in landscape architecture. No other military installation in the nation has ever undertaken landscape planning on such a grand scale. A soldier standing on the Presidios windy ridgeline during the Civil War years would have written home about sandy dunes and the open prospect to the bay. Beginning in the 1880s, the Army planted a vast eucalyptus, pine, and cypress forest. Thousands of trees were planted along the Presidios ridges and entrance gates. Today, the 300-acres forest is the largest feature that contributes to the Presidios National Historic Landmark District. It also provides habitat for birds and other wildlife and respite from the city for human visitors.
  
  Our ideal candidate is a strong and fair leader with the skills and passion to help us maintain and care for this treasured historic San Francisco forest. You motivate and inspire your team; and are reliable, responsible, and forward-thinking towards ensuring the Presidio continues to be a model of ecological restoration and sustainable stewardship.
