Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom Avon Needs Trees Full time


We are looking for an experienced monitoring and evaluation professional with exceptional people skills and a good understanding of nature recovery to help take ANT to our next level of impact by leading on monitoring and evaluation for the Lower Chew Landscape Recovery project.

Job Purpose


Your legacy will be a tangible impact on slowing down climate change, helping nature recover and creating social impact by leading on landowner and stakeholder engagement for the Lower Chew Landscape Recovery project that will see thousands of acres of local land managed in harmony with nature.


You will join a fast-growing organisation that started in 2019 with four volunteers and has grown to a staff team of thirteen (which will double over 2024), over 1,000 volunteers and ownership of 170 acres (soon to be 600 acres) of land that will grow woodlands of over 160,000 trees.


You will also provide light touch impact and knowledge inputs to Avon Needs Trees' other woodland projects which include two Wiltshire Woodlands, the Great Avon Wood, Ed Woods, and the upcoming Lower Chew Forest.

The project

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 will engage existing landowners and managers across over 867 hectares of land in the Lower Chew, 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 environmental and social priorities.

Main responsibilities

  • You will make sure our amazing work in the Lower Chew and beyond creates maximum impact and that this is monitored, available and well communicated

This includes:
○ Putting in place monitoring and evaluation plans, systems and tools to monitor our ecological, economic and social impact

○ Identifying and highlighting our impact, for example gathering case studies on our human impact

○ Working with other team members to ensure our impact is communicated in a clear and concise way

○ Making our impact data available quickly and easily

○ Increasing our impact by being on top of emerging research, techniques and data to improve what we do

○ Dissemination of learning to help other projects

  • Leading on a 20-25 year monitoring and evaluation plan for the Lower Chew Landscape Recovery project, whilst contributing to other plans, including:
○ Assessing and identifying learning opportunities

○ Incorporating baseline data into the monitoring and evaluation plan

○ Designing and establishing the monitoring and evaluation plan

○ Identifying future monitoring requirements

○ Packaging and disseminating learnings

  • Work with the wider Avon Needs Trees team to help build a resilient, multi-site charity and undertake any other work necessary to pursue our aims
  • As with all Avon Needs Trees roles, contributing to grant writing and fundraising activities
  • Other duties and opportunities as required.
