In partnership with Save the River Usk and following the success of the Big Ranunculus Watch, Friends of the River Wye are seeking an experienced Project Lead to manage a new three-year programme focused on collecting evidence to contribute to the recovery of water crowfoot (Ranunculus) across the Welsh Wye and Usk.

This role will hold overall responsibility for delivering the project, including public engagement (with a strong citizen science component) and coordination with scientific partners, regulators and other stakeholders. Reporting to a dedicated steering group including trustees/leaders from FORW and Save the Usk experienced in local Citizen Science work. This programme is anticipated to last at least the next three growing seasons and will include preparing an overall project report and evaluation report, to include recommendations for future monitoring of water crowfoot and management options to help safeguard this keystone species and SAC feature.
