Your work will include restoring habitats to improve ecological connectivity, such as chalk streams, restoring plantations on ancient woodland sites, improving the condition of the district’s two largest Sites of Special Scientific Interest, the Brecklands and Sandling Forests, and assessing opportunities to reintroduce pine marten to woodlands in the district.
