Join us. We're foresters, professionals and experts. We are a passionate team who love to share our enthusiasm and want to make a positive difference for you and the environment. Together, we’re using our scale and expertise to grow the nation’s forests for everyone. We’re already adapting our landscapes for tomorrow, and getting stuff done today, like creating amazing places and experiences for you to enjoy. We're providing vital homes for wildlife, making our air cleaner to breathe and producing sustainable timber. We’ve not always been known for our conservation work, but Forestry England have bold ambitions to be a leading force for nature recovery. Our progress is real and measurable: FSC certified since 1999, WWF’s 'Gift to the Earth' award in 2001, and commitments to restore all our ancient woodlands in 2007 and 11,000 hectares of nature-rich open habitats in 2013. In 2022 we launched our first Biodiversity Plan with a clear goal to make the nation’s forests the most valuable places for wildlife to thrive and expand in England.

This initiative aims to create 15,000 hectares of dynamic habitat corridors along rides (forest roads), watercourses, and Priority Ecological Corridors. The aim is to improve ecological connectivity and enable species movement at a landscape scale. You will be responsible for overseeing the distribution of secured funding to delivery teams. Funds can support any action or role contributing to the establishment and management of Nature Networks, including wide rides, watercourse buffer zones, dedicated habitat corridors, grazing infrastructure, building volunteer groups, or developing in-house management teams. Using cutting-edge data tools and collaborative approaches, you will drive biodiversity enhancement by ensuring Nature Networks support species movement, ecological processes, and long-term restoration goals.
