Our ambitious targets to create woodland across Cheshire play an important part in tackling the climate emergency we are facing. We must see nature recovering, wildlife returning, and ecosystems restored.

If you have a passion for woodlands and the role they play in creating important new habitats, we want to hear from you.

The ideal candidate with have excellent project management and organisational skills, and the ability to communicate effectively with people at a range of levels, including project partners, farmers, landowners and land managers.

Professional membership of the Institute of Chartered Foresters or another relevant professional body is desirable.
