Can you help us to meet the challenge of creating at least 250ha of new, multi-purpose woodland in Nottinghamshire, home of the legendary Sherwood Forest?

This post offers an exciting opportunity to work with Greenwood Community Forest and partners to deliver the England’s Community Forests’ Trees for Climate programme in Nottinghamshire. With significant practical experience of delivering high quality tree planting schemes, including negotiating and managing contracts, you will work in partnership with other local authorities, conservation organisations and land owners and lead on the delivery of planting schemes that bring benefits for both people and wildlife.

The post is offered on a full-time basis to 31st March 2023 in the first instance, with the potential for extension to 31st March 2025 subject to the continued availability of funding.

This post is also available as a secondment opportunity to existing Nottinghamshire County Council employees. You must seek approval from your line manager before applying.
