Part-Time Property Manager for Scudder Preserve

Scudder Preserve is a 90-acre woodland sanctuary in Middletown, NJ, featuring century-old forest, rolling meadows, wetlands, ponds and habitat for a remarkable variety of plant and wildlife. The preserve was transferred to Monmouth Conservation Foundation in 2024, and MCF has completed baseline ecological assessments and adopted a management plan for the site to begin habitat restoration. This is a rare opportunity to help shape the future of a special place from the ground up.

Responsibilities include: Conduct on-site grounds work or oversee paid contractors for trail maintenance, mowing, landscaping, tree work, and other tasks; oversee habitat restoration, grounds projects, and gardening needs; serve as on-site liaison for MCF staff and all contractors; conduct minimal-required buildings maintenance and minor urgent repairs; oversee the general maintenance of the interior and exterior of on-site structures; serve as a liaison between neighbors of the property and MCF staff; coordinate and oversee volunteer workdays and programs.
