Woodland Project Assistant

Nidderdale National Landscape (NNL) is working in partnership on a multi-year project to
significantly increase levels of woodland creation. We are expanding our woodland team and
looking for a talented individual to help support this delivery of woodland creation across the
National Landscape.

The Woodland Project Assistant will work alongside the Woodland Project Officer within the
wider NNL team, to help deliver high quality woodland creation projects within our protected landscape. This will
involve working with landowners, land managers and farmers to identify, plan, design, fund and
deliver tree planting schemes on their land. The Woodland Project Assistant will deal with
enquiries about tree planting, scope schemes and support the NNL Woodland Officer in
liaising with landowners, managers and farmers to develop projects.

This is an exciting opportunity to get involved in conservation work in a nationally protected
landscape. You should have some previous conservation experience and a strong desire to learn
about woodland creation and management. You will be articulate and organised, have an attention
for detail with the ability to work closely with farmers, land managers and other project
partners.

The NNL team are based in Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire. We offer flexible hybrid working
although you will need to work from Pateley Bridge office at least 1 day per week. A full
driving license and access to a car is essential.
