Ribble Rivers Trust (RRT) is an environmental conservation charity delivering catchment wide activities that will improve, protect, and create a mosaic of habitats and land uses that will lead to a healthy riverine environment. This habitat mosaic includes everything from Peat Restoration to hedgerow creation, woodlands to river “re-wiggling” and importantly sustainable agricultural practices– each with demonstrable improvements to habitats and species. We have 5 teams with particular focuses (Land Management, People and Learning, Data and Evidence, River Conservation and Core Services), each full of passionate and dedicated individuals, with diverse skills and experience. The teams work closely together on collaborative and integrated projects that deliver the greatest benefit. At present we have a wide range of projects and programmes working with farmers and land managers across the Ribble catchment. These seek to support farm businesses to become more sustainable as farm businesses with a balanced approached focusing on agricultural productivity alongside habitat works. This results in a wider range of actions from improved farmyard infrastructure & nutrient management, through to creating new woodland & wetlands, and everything in between Such is the success of our work that we are looking to expand the team of Farm Advisors, and recruit a technically competent, dynamic, and enthusiastic person to work within our Land Management team to undertake “Pinpoint” Farm Advisory Visits, and to lead and support the delivery of a range of agricultural and environmental projects.
