JOB TITLE: Business Manager DEPARTMENT: Administration POSITION TYPE: Part Time / Hourly REPORTS TO: Executive Director DIRECTLY SUPERVISES: PLIC / Silver Lake Admin Functions MISSION: Cottonwood Canyons Foundation (CCF) works to continuously improve the environments of Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons through education and stewardship programs. The Cottonwood Canyons are a critical and magnificent ecosystem, provide approximately 60% of the drinking water for Salt Lake City, and are a major economic engine for Utah’s ski industry. They are also located within one of the most highly-visited portions of national forest in the nation and receive extraordinarily high numbers of visitors and therefore experience high levels of use and recreational pressure. We see it as extremely important to educate the public who utilize this area for recreation and who rely on it daily for their drinking water, on the canyons’ importance and how they can help promote their ecological health. We also aim to provide the community with direct and hands-on ways to give back to this environment through volunteering. It is our belief that if we all better understand the importance of this area, and if we all take part in helping to improve it, the Cottonwood Canyons will continue to be a healthy environment and watershed and a spectacular place to recreate for generations to come. We’re grateful to our partners and community of volunteers for their help in these efforts.
