What you’ll do
This post is an exciting opportunity to join Forestry England's Recreation team. You will play a key role in supporting Forest Centre Managers in the management and development of the recreation offer, to connect more people with the nation's forests and deliver sustainable finances. Across the district, you will help to progress projects that could improve our financial sustainability or enhance people's experience in our forests.
Where you’ll work
We are Forestry England. We are the country’s largest land manager, caring for the nation’s forests for people, nature and the economy. The foundation of our organisation is our world-class sustainable management of the nation’s forests.
Our South England Forest District team is made up of around 170 people with a diverse range of roles - from foresters and wildlife rangers to civil engineers, and ecologists to marketing professionals. We all contribute towards the management of 46,000 hectares of public forest estate that stretch from Sussex to Dorset, and from Berkshire to the Isle of Wight. Nearly all of our forests are within either a National Park or Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Much of this forest is of high national importance for nature conservation and wildlife, and of international importance for biodiversity. South England Forest District is therefore responsible for land that includes Special Areas of Conservation (for habitats), Special Protection Areas (for birds) and Ramsar sites (for wetlands). We also provide public access and recreation in our forests, with nearly 50 million visits every year to South Forest District.
As part of your responsibilities, you will be asked to join the District duty roster, after a suitable period of induction.
