- manage stakeholder relationships: build strong relationships with external partners, tenants, and concession operators. collaborate with local agencies, such as the National Park Authority Ranger Team, to coordinate multi-agency work during peak times and reduce visitor impact and arson risks.
- represent Forestry England: participate in stakeholder meetings, events, and volunteer programmes to showcase the great work of Forestry England and foster community engagement.
- inspire others: plan, lead, and safely manage volunteer groups and programmes connecting volunteers andlocal communities with the nation’s forests.
