Tree Health Surveyor (England)
Pests and diseases are threatening our trees, woodlands and forests and our volunteers are essential in helping us tackle these challenges. The Observatree project is a partnership delivered by Forest Research, Fera Science Ltd, National Trust, Woodland Trust, DEFRA and others, and relies on volunteers to carry out tree health surveys, which help tree health teams across the UK to understand the health of our trees and woodland and take appropriate action.
Join our team of Tree Health Surveyors and support the surveying of tree health across the UK, contributing to protecting trees from future threats.
In England, we are currently recruiting in the following areas:
- Tyne & Wear
- Durham
- East Riding of Yorkshire
- Manchester
- Lincolnshire
- Rutland
- Staffordshire
- Kent
- Sussex
- Cambridgeshire
- Bedfordshire
- Cornwall
- Herefordshire
Please note that Observatree are recruiting a limited number of places and will prioritise applications dependent on the area and proximity to existing volunteers.
Applications will be open until the 8th March. The team will then take time to review all applications and invite a number to interview. Please bear with us as this process can take up to a month to complete.
Please note: due to the partnership nature of the project, as part of your volunteering role your name and postcode will be shared with our lead partner, Forest Research. This role also requires you to complete Tree Alerts for key findings, this is a Forest Research system which requires entry of your name and email address.
