Development Ranger (Rivers Run Through Us)

The Development Ranger role is to establish the practical and community foundations for the Rivers Run Through Us project, working alongside the Project Development Manager during its 18-month development phase. Fixed term until 31 July 2026.

Rivers Run Through Us is a new, multi-faceted, innovative and ambitious project, funded largely by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The project is designed to take a holistic, collaborative approach to recapturing the natural heritage of the River Axe, its tributaries and valleys, through better connections between people and heritage, farmers and consumers, rural and townsfolk, soil and water. The project focuses on three themes: River, Soil and People, and will nurture community action, monitoring river health, restoring soils and habitats, and reaching out to empower everyone to find their own connection with the river and its heritage.
