Do you have skills in monitoring, evidence gathering and data management you want to use to
help us plan large-scale nature recovery for a generation?
Cumbria Connect is developing a Landscape Recovery Scheme in the eastern Lake District
encompassing land from Penrith to Kendal along a broad geographical corridor we’re calling the
Penrith2Kendal Arc. In collaboration with more than 30 land managers we aim to recover nature
across 14,500ha of habitats that include upland heath, blanket bog, rivers and floodplain,
woodland and scrub, wetlands, semi-improved and unimproved grassland including hay meadows.
The Landscape Recovery Data Officer will be an essential member of the Penrith2Kendal Arc
Landscape Recovery team, working closely with the project ecologist, nature recovery leads and
farm advisors to provide dedicated support with GIS, biological and historical data and
information management. You will play a key role in the development of the project’s Land
Management and Monitoring & Evaluation Plans.
Utilising your skills and keen interest in environmental data collection and monitoring, you
will lead on creating project monitoring strategies and delivering detailed monitoring on the
ground. You will have an eye for detail to help you deliver excellent reporting. Due to the
large scale of the Penrith2Kendal Arc Landscape Recovery Project, an innovative approach to
baselining and monitoring will be needed, likely with some requirement for remote sensing and
use of new technologies to assess habitat change.
