Description

Devon County Council are looking for an organisation to lead and coordinate a range of volunteer planting schemes across Devon. The project will commence in November 2023 and terminate in March 2030 - this will facilitate two planting seasons and 5 years of maintenance for planting schemes in Year 1 and Year 2. The planting schemes will require careful planning in liaison with Devon County Council's Woodland Creation Accelerator Fund (WCAF) Team. This project will be funded through Devon County Council's successful bid to the Local Authority Treescapes Fund (LATF funding to be confirmed towards the end of summer, prior to award of contract). The contractor will be expected to provide UKISG & Plant Healthy certified (or Ready-to-Plant assessed) tree stock.
