Salary: Grade 5-6 (£20,858 to £28,636)
Closing date: Friday 2nd September 2011
Location: Lincolnshire
Following the recent approval of funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, East Lindsey District Council are seeking to recruit a new project team on behalf of the Lincolnshire Coastal Grazing Marshes Landscape Partnership to deliver the approved Landscape Conservation Action Plan over the next three years.
The project vision is to conserve and restore a landscape with a mosaic of grasslands rich in wildlife and intersected by a distinctive pattern of water courses, where both arable and pastoral farming will thrive and local people and visitors will experience the natural and historic environment, benefiting from a year round vibrant rural economy through improved access and sustainable landscape management.
All of the activities are designed to engage the community, attract a wider audience and increase their awareness and understanding of the local landscape. The projects will also provide people with the skills and knowledge to conserve and enhance the landscape for the future.
