We need a fully qualified consultant ecologist (ideally with CIEEM membership and experience in the England/Wales borderlands) to provide, a comprehensive assessment of the current condition of the ecology and habitat of our site, its value as a resource, and recommendations for improvement to support our flora and fauna, and where possible increase variety and populations. This is an exciting opportunity to help SCPT conserve and enrich our extraordinary castle and its beautiful site, and bring it to members of the public as a space to enjoy wildlife diversity and landscape, as well as history. The survey and recommendations will inform the development of the trust’s strategy and business plan, feed into the production of a conservation management plan for the site as a whole, and inform any planning applications needed for the construction of ecologically sensitive facilities to support our community engagement activities. The work is being commissioned as part of Fortifying the Future, a three-year project supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund with funds made possible by National Lottery players.
