**Job summary**:
Never has there been a more important time for trees and forests to help tackle the climate emergency and provide a much-needed sanctuary for people and wildlife. Our Prime Minister and our government are committed to creating 30,000 hectares of woodland a year across the UK, of which 7,500 ha per year are anticipated to be in England, by the end of this Parliament. This acceleration in current planting rates in England will contribute to meeting the net-zero by 2050 ambitions, and to government’s wider environmental targets. This was supported by the announcement in the 2021 budget of £640m for a new Nature for Climate Fund ‘to support natural habitats like woodland and peat’ and the publication of the England Tree Action Plan. The Department for the Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Forestry Commission have setup a joint tree planting programme for England to support the forestry sector, landowners and communities in the delivery of these ambitions.

Forestry Commission will lead the delivery of the following parts of the tree planting programme:

- Developing sector capacity.
- Woodland creation on public land.
- Woodland creation on private land.
- Engagement.

If you are passionate about the role of trees, woods and forestry in creating a better future for England, and want to play a key part in realising that, we want to hear from you. By joining the Forestry Commission, you will become part of a team of passionate, committed colleagues, and be able to build on a wealth of expertise to take this ambitious work forward. You will be able to make your mark by helping the Forestry Commission to revolutionise how we work together and reach new stakeholders. Our staff engagement levels are consistently well above the Civil Service average and staff turnover is well below. We value our people, we look after them, and we will look after you. We hope you will join us for the challenge.

**Job description**:
The Woodland Creation Officer role represents Forest Services front-line woodlands and forestry expertise. It involves ensuring the delivery of Government forestry policy through the effective use of advice and incentives. The role provides an important interface between Forest Services, landowners and forestry agents; promoting, advising on, and helping to facilitate a diverse range of woodland creation proposals. The post-holders will be expected to focus on woodland creation. They will advocate the benefits of woodland creation and proactively communicate with and advise landowners and investors considering woodland creation.

This Woodland Creation Officer post will cover:
- Lancashire, Cheshire and North Staffs and will ideally be based from our Delamere office.

If you live within that area then you have the opportunity to work in a blended manner directly from your home, once you have become fully established in the role. New WCO’s are expected to attend their parent office 2 to 3 days per week to allow them to learn the role from managers and colleagues. When fully established we would expect you to have a blended working agreement to facilitate working both at home and in the office/site visits. If your home lies outside your work area you will be expected to travel into your work area in your own time and cost.

Providing front line advice on woodland creation:

- Engaging and enthusing landowners on how new woodland can deliver their aspirations while also delivering multifunctional benefits to the environment, society and the economy.
- Advising on funding options: grants, carbon funding, nitrate offsetting and sponsorship.
- Explaining the requirements of the UK Forestry Standard (UKFS)’s woodland design and planning requirements.
- Working as part of the wider Area teams to proactively identify and engage with landowners/agents with an interest in woodland creation.
- Supporting landowners and forestry agents in identifying consultees, sources of information and relevant contacts to facilitate the preparation of high quality UKFS compliant woodland creation design plans.
- Liaison with relevant stakeholders (including tenants, Non Government Organisations, Government organisations) to ensure plans take into account relevant views and issues.
- Liaising with Area teams and colleagues in the Incentives Development
