People & Nature Lead is a multidisciplinary role requiring ecological and land management expertise, as well as stakeholder engagement skills. We are looking for someone who is adept at interpreting, understanding and communicating technical information to a variety of audiences.

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.

Your legacy will have a tangible impact on slowing down climate change and helping nature recover by overseeing and leading on Avon Needs Trees’ (ANT) on-the-ground habitat restoration work, helping to meet our goals to plant hundreds of thousands of trees and enhance complementary habitats.
