It has contributed to the protection of more than 1.15 million hectares of South Australia, owns and manages 500,000 hectares of terrestrial and wetland ecosystems, and is the third largest non-government conservation land manager in Australia.
The Nature Foundation’s current portfolio of nine reserves includes Watchalunga, Tiliqua, Geegeela, Bullocky Bridge, Murbpook, and Mongolurring, together with Witchelina and Hiltaba Nature Reserves, which are large enough to have full-time site-based Conservation Land Managers.

Key outcomes for the role include:
Applications are encouraged from candidates with current knowledge of and experience in ecological and nature conservation management principles and practices combined with a fundamental understanding of contemporary approaches to the management of land, projects, risk and visitor services. The successful applicant will also demonstrate effective leadership, interpersonal and emotional intelligence skills, the ability to deal with complex or sensitive issues or conflicts and form sustainable partnerships and relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
