District Ecologist

As our District Ecologist, you’ll be at the heart of protecting some of Yorkshire’s most treasured landscapes and species. You’ll champion Forestry England’s Biodiversity Plan, ensuring our forests thrive for generations to come.

You’ll take the lead in crafting and delivering management plans for designated sites and protected species, turning strategy into action on the ground. From ancient woodlands to nationally important heathlands, your work will shape how we care for these ecosystems and you’ll use evidence and monitoring to guide every decision.

This is more than conservation. You’ll be a key voice in developing forest plans and operational strategies, helping to recover biodiversity at scale.
