Tor to Shore Community & Volunteer Officer

Cornwall Wildlife Trust

The role will lead on Tor to Shore’s community and volunteer engagement activities during the
project’s 12-month development phase. This will require liaising with external organisations
operating in the project area to understand:

  • the challenges facing communities to engage with and protect nature
  • existing groups (formal and informal) that are taking action, or have a desire to take
    action for, wildlife in the area.

This will help identify opportunities for people and nature in the project area, and result in
further development and testing of specific activities.
