Position description
The University of California division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) invites applications for a UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Outdoor Recreation Advisor, in the Assistant Rank, serving Plumas, Sierra and Nevada Counties. The advisor will work at the local level and regionally with other community groups to leverage their assets associated with outdoor recreation opportunities. Outdoor recreation is an important local economic activity. These counties are known for their unique combination of high-elevation forests, alpine lakes, volcanic geology, and remote scenic valleys that create a distinct Sierra Mountain experience, focused on hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, OHV riding, and skiing to cycling, birding, and water-based recreation on lakes and rivers.
UCCE Advisors are responsible for applied research and the extension of knowledge. Research activities are needs-based, mission-oriented, and focused on addressing our communities' challenges. Extension activities are educational practices advisors use to share research results directly with their clientele and communities. Increased knowledge and understanding of science-based research helps to support and promote the adoption of practices and technologies that solve problems. Extension methods may include individual consultations, presentations, organization of educational workshops and short courses, field demonstrations and site visits. Information may also be disseminated via webinars, fact sheets, policy briefs, news blogs and social media. Publications are expected in various formats, such as newsletters, articles for the popular press, curriculums, conference proceedings, and peer-reviewed publications. Successful research and extension programs result in new information that improves knowledge or understanding and adoption of new skills, practices, changed attitudes, policies, and improved environmental, health, agricultural, economic, and/or social conditions. UCCE Advisors are evaluated through an academic advancement system based on four criteria: extending knowledge, applied research and creative activity, professional competence and activity, and University and public service.
Location Headquarters:
This position will be headquartered in the UCCE Office for Plumas-Sierra Counties, located at 208 Fairground Road, Quincy, CA 95971

Many opportunities exist to collaborate with local groups involved in environmental stewardship, workforce and economic development, local natural resource planning efforts, youth development, recreational facilities enhancement, increased utilization of outdoor recreational opportunities and other topics.

About UCANR

Today, we collaborate with farmers, ranchers, diverse communities, youth and adult educators, and policymakers to address local and statewide issues related to food systems, water, climate change, and sustainable agriculture through a statewide network of campus-based researchers, county-based Advisors, and community educators. Our mission is to cultivate thriving communities, sustainable agriculture, resilient ecosystems, and economic prosperity in California and globally through equitable generation and sharing of collaborative, science-based solutions. Over 180 UCCE Advisors conduct applied research and extension education from county-based UCCE offices serving all 58 counties from 70+ locations. By working and living among those we serve, UC ANR expands the University of California's reach to engage all people and communities in California, ensuring equal access to the resources UC has to offer. Our vision is that UC ANR will be valued in every California community for meaningful engagement and making a positive difference in people's lives.
About Plumas, Sierra and Nevada Counties
Plumas, Sierra, and Nevada counties offer extensive year-round outdoor recreation that draws residents and visitors seeking uncrowded natural landscapes, historic mountain towns, and diverse activities-from hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, OHV riding, and skiing to cycling, birding, and water-based recreation on lakes and rivers. These counties are known for their unique combination of high-elevation forests, alpine lakes, volcanic geology, and remote scenic valleys that create a distinct Sierra Mountain experience. The Plumas and Sierra region is known as the 'Lost Sierra', due the remoteness compared to more congested tourist areas with uncrowded recreation opportunities. The region hosts recreation events including Tour de Manure bike ride, the Downieville Classic mountain bike race, fishing derbies, endurance trail runs, and more. Recreation is a major economic driver across the region, supporting local businesses, lodging, restaurants, retail, and seasonal jobs; generating significant visitor spending; and supporting rural economies that rely heavily on tourism, outdoor access, and community-hosted events.
