Conservation & Wildlife Ecology
We are looking for someone who is adept at interpreting, understanding and communicating technical information to a variety of audiences. The People & Nature Lead is a multidisciplinary role requiring ecological and land management expertise, as well as stakeholder engagement skills.
Landscape Recovery is one of Defra's three environmental land management schemes. Avon Needs Trees has been awarded development phase funding for Landscape Recovery in the Lower Chew. This is a unique opportunity to help co-design nature's recovery and social impact at a landscape scale.
The project works with landowners and managers across over 600 hectares of land in the Lower Chew Valley, an area where good quality but fragmented woodland provides a basis for woodland connectivity and large-scale woodland creation, as part of a mosaic of grassland and woodland habitat. This locally-cherished landscape of rolling farmland on the edge of Bristol is the strategic setting for delivering local and national environmental and social priorities.
About Avon Needs Trees
Avon Needs Trees is a registered charity creating new, permanent woodland throughout the Bristol-Avon catchment to fight the climate and ecological emergencies. We fundraise to buy land to create woodlands that will stand for generations, locking up carbon, boosting local biodiversity, and providing natural flood management as well as publicly accessible green space where appropriate.
