Director of Advancement | Southeast Land Trust of New Hampshire | Epping, NH About SELT The Southeast Land Trust of New Hampshire (SELT) protects and sustains the significant lands in our communities for clean water, outdoor recreation, fresh food, wildlife, and healthy forests. Founded in 1980, SELT has partnered with landowners and communities throughout its 52-community region to conserve more than 28,000 acres through conservation easements and fee ownerships. These lands include 11,000+ acres owned by SELT, with over 70 miles of woods roads and trails open to the public for year-round recreation. SELT is accredited by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission and has active programs in land conservation, easement stewardship, land management, community outreach, and nature-based education. Guided by its 2024–2030 Strategic Plan, SELT is pursuing an ambitious vision that includes conserving an additional 15,000 acres, expanding access in underserved communities, protecting land of importance to and in cooperation with Black, Indigenous, and people of color, and creating ecological and recreational corridors such as the Pawtuckaway to Great Bay Greenway. The plan also explores intersections between land protection and community needs such as climate resilience and affordable housing. SELT's Nature is for Everyone initiative works to remove barriers to access, improve trail accessibility, and honor the full history of the lands it stewards. SELT also engages the next generation through its All-Terrain Learning Adventures (ATLAS) program, which connects youth with nature through hands-on exploration and partnerships with local schools and UNH Extension. SELT's offices are located at the beautiful, net-zero Nan and George Mathey Center for People and Nature, situated on the 237-acre Burley Farms in Epping, NH. The property is part of a conserved block of more than 500 acres along the Wild and Scenic Lamprey River, offering staff, students, and visitors access to miles of trails for hiking, birdwatching, and more For more information about SELT, please visit <a href="https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=6141095&amp;targetURL=https://seltnh.org/" target="_blank">https://seltnh.org/</a>. About Philanthropy at SELT: Philanthropy at SELT is collaborative and mission-aligned—bringing together board members, staff, and donors to build lasting relationships and ensure SELT's ability to protect and care for the region's most treasured landscapes for generations to come. The organization engages a wide network of supporters through major gifts, planned giving, membership, and institutional partnerships. Donors are inspired not just by the outcomes of SELT's work, but by the opportunity to be active partners in shaping a healthier, more inclusive, and more resilient future for the communities SELT serves. No matter a person's ability, background, or circumstance, SELT believes all should have the opportunity to experience the wonder of the natural world.
