This role is dedicated to the Welsh Marches project in Powys that has been developed in close partnership with Plantlife. It is one of 11 place-based projects in the Natur am Byth programme and has a particular focus on rare lichens, bryophytes and invertebrates. The target species selected are associated with veteran trees, ancient woodland and niche grassland habitats that occur in Powys close to the England border - an area often referred to as the ‘Welsh Marches’.

You will work closely with the Plantlife Natur am Byth project officer to co-design activities and agree a schedule of work that builds on both your own experience and that of Plantlife.

You will also work closely with the NRW Mid Wales People and Places team and Environment Teams to ensure integration with their work programmes and build on local knowledge.

You will bring your experience of protected site and habitat management, plus your experience of landowner and tenant liaison to outline the required legacy management options that will ensure the long-term enhancement of habitats for target species. You will have enough experience of handling species data and GIS software to provide advice to other Natur am Byth projects officers.
