The contract will run for 26 weeks (March – September) covering 2 days a week.
Wales faces a twin climate and nature emergency, like the rest of the UK and Europe. Curlew, known as gylfinir in Welsh, is an iconic bird referenced frequently throughout Welsh theology, culture and heritage and is often greeted as the herald of spring by Welsh rural communities. It is now in steep decline with the population falling by 6% per year. If no conservation actions are taken curlew will be on the brink of extinction within the next decade. Curlew is Wales’s most pressing bird conservation priority.
The Curlew Connections Community and Engagement Officer will re-connect people with curlew in the Welsh landscape and inspire them to help us in our ambitions for reversing their rapid population decline.
