Regional Stewardship Manager
Quiverheart Stewardship Hub
Arc of Appalachia Preserve Syste
Background on the Arc of Appalachia
The Arc of Appalachia began 29 years ago with the dream of saving the “Seven Caves,” a 60-acre privately operated cave park in Highland County on the Rocky Fork Gorge that boasted breathtaking beauty and rich botanical diversity. Today, that 60-acre dream – having been expanded upon 74 times, is now the 3000-acre Highlands Nature Sanctuary and the Arc of Appalachia’s main headquarters. The Arc currently supports nine full-time staff members, several hundred active volunteers, an energized and very effective board, eight overnight lodges, and a welcome and educational center at the Highlands Nature Sanctuary called the Appalachian Forest Museum.
For nearly 30 years, the Highlands Nature Sanctuary operated as the Arc’s sole equipment and staffing center. In 2023, however, a second staffing and equipment stewardship center was established at Quiverheart Gorge Preserve to more effectively serve the fourteen Arc preserves located in Adams County and Scioto County.
We are currently seeking to fill the Quiverheart Regional Stewardship Manager position with someone who is passionate about wildlands preservation, and who has skills and interest in stewarding natural communities.
The Quiverheart Regional Stewardship Manager performs mostly outdoor work, except during the deep of winter when much work usually moves indoors. Among this position’s varied tasks, the Regional Land Steward maintains existing trails and builds new trails, monitors and improves upon the balance and biodiversity of natural communities, mows trails and associated trailheads, removes invasive plants, and monitors for plant diseases as needed. The Regional Stewardship Manager works with other Arc staff to meet the needs of preserve communities, recruits for and cultivates a robust volunteer team, networks with citizens in the preserve’s local communities, and helps sponsor major public events in the region, including the Simon Sorghum Festival and the Little Smokies Firefly and Biodiversity Weekend. The Land Stewardship Manager also works in close partnership with another Arc staff member – the Land Stewardship Manager overseeing two Scioto County Preserves: Tremper Mound and Simon Farm.
