Abstract

An independent facilitator and Chair of the Powys Nature Partnership is sought for the period from 20 September 2024 – 24 March 2025.

Identify and develop projects to deliver against these actions with the most appropriate partners for delivery, looking at the likely resource needed to support the work. 3) Carry out a review of the Partnership's structure and recommend a way forward that is resourced and realistic, so that the Steering Group, a core group and wider interested parties can work together effectively around nature recovery.
