Do you have a passion to engage and work alongside young people on nature-based projects in their local landscape? We are looking for someone to Introduce young people to the people and the practices that are shaping the landscape around them. Can you help them develop projects that make a difference to biodiversity, climate change and people on a local scale, and connect them with the right people and organisations that can support them in the future to continue to make a difference.

We are looking for someone who will be a great facilitator and advocate for these young people. Someone skilled in partnership working, keen to make a difference and leave a project legacy with these young people in Cumbria.

Fellfoot Forward is led by the North Pennines AONB Partnership and delivered through a partnership of local organisations and communities. Through a scheme of projects, Fellfoot Forward will forge creative connections between people and landscape, conserve habitats and key species and celebrate this beautiful area with communities and visitors. The Fellfoot landscape stretches from the Cumbrian fellside of the North Pennines AONB and UNESCO Global Geopark to the River Eden and runs north from Melmerby to Hallbankgate. Fellfoot Forward is a Landscape Partnership Scheme supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The project is integrated within a partnership project: Paths to Learning: Active Community Exploration (PLACE). The lead partner is Cumbria Development Education Centre (CDEC). PLACE is funded through the Green Recovery Challenge Fund delivered by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
