Overview
We are looking for a talented communications professional to work with The Wildlife Trusts on a transformative partnership project focused on the historic Rothbury Estate in Northumberland.
Project Background
The Wildlife Trusts have an opportunity to secure the historic and vast Rothbury Estate for nature, local people and the nation and are currently seeking funding to achieve this and develop a vision for the Estate by:
* Carrying out surveys, appointing specialist contractors and listening to local people, farmers, visitors and other stakeholders to better understand the needs and opportunities of the site for nature, people and communities
* Engaging local, regional and national audiences to enhance understanding of this heritage landscape
* Working with local and national stakeholders to co‑create a new integrated approach to land management where nature recovery will underpin sustainable farming, climate resilience, public access and resilient/connected communities
Why Join Us
This project will lay the foundations for the future of the Rothbury Estate, a future which will see it become the heart of a 40‑mile nature recovery corridor across northern England.
This project is led by the Royal Society for Wildlife Trusts (RSWT) working in partnership with Northumberland Wildlife Trust.
