JOB: Landowner Liaison Rep
BE4: 05-04-2026
IV: --
LOC: Remote
PAY: Training dependent on needs, some expenses.
FOR: 9Trees CIC
9Trees CIC is seeking a volunteer Landowner Liaison Representative to support the creation of new wildlife woodlands across the UK. This flexible remote role is ideal for someone interested in ecology, conservation, farming, or rural land management. 9Trees is a not-for-profit organisation that creates professionally managed broadleaf woodlands for wildlife and people. Rather than selling carbon credits, we focus on long-term carbon storage, biodiversity, and community access to nature. The role involves engaging with landowners and farmers interested in woodland creation, supporting communications, and assisting with desk-based research on potential planting sites. Volunteers can focus on outreach, research, or a mix of both. We offer a supportive, flexible working environment and welcome people who are self-motivated, organised, and passionate about nature. Experience with landowners or ecological surveys is helpful but not essential. Time: 5 - 8 hours per week. To apply, email info@9trees.org with your CV and a short cover letter.
