Nature’s Recovery Officer (Pollinators)

vacanciesin.eu

Could you offer advice and support to farmers, landowners and communities who want to
help native insect pollinators?

B-Lines are an imaginative and beautiful solution to the problem of the loss of flowers and
pollinators. The B-Lines are a series of ‘insect pathways’ running through our countryside and
towns, along which we are restoring and creating a series of wildflower-rich habitat stepping
stones. They link existing wildlife areas together, creating a network, like a railway, that
will weave across the UK.

Avon Wildlife Trust has been working with Buglife (the insect conservation charity) on the
B-Lines approach since 2014, enabling us to target work to create continuous swathes of
wildlife-rich habitat.

Over the past ten years we have been worked with a wide variety of private landowners and have
delivered significant ecological enhancements across the region. This includes the restoration
of over 170ha of wildflower-rich grassland and several nature-friendly orchards.

The next phase of B-Lines will focus on the West Mendips, between AWT’s reserves of Folly Farm
and Browne’s Folly, with ambitions to scale up and expand this work. As the Nature’s Recovery
Officer, you will work with farmers, landowners and communities to grow the network of habitats
between these reserves. To ensure climate resilience, you will work on a variety of priority
habitats including grasslands, hedgerows, planting in-filed trees and carrying out improvements
to woodland edges, all of which are key to the survival of pollinating species.

As the Nature’s Recovery Officer you will:

  • Support habitat improvement works on our reserves within the project area.
  • Proactively identify sites, providing advice to farmers, landowners and communities, so
    that they can take action for nature by creating or improving nectar-rich habitats.
  • Develop and lead volunteer opportunities, guided by the needs of the landowners and
    communities you are working with.
  • Be supported by the experts at Buglife, who will provide technical advice and training, and
    ensure that the project is linked to the wider national B-Lines initiative and targeted species
    recovery where appropriate.
