Facing a climate and ecological emergency, we need to plant trees and restore nature with a new urgency, involving communities and targeting areas of need. Can you help champion and guide our work at this pivotal time as Chair of The Mersey Forest Partnership Steering Group?

The Mersey Forest is a long-term, landscape-scale, programme of environmental regeneration, engaging communities and helping to tackle some of our most challenging issues. Together we have created hundreds of new community woodlands and other habitats with and for local communities.

At the heart of our Partnership is the Steering Group, with each of our local authority Partners represented by their nominated councillor. This Group oversees the planning and delivery of a positive, exciting and beneficial programme of work that delivers wellbeing, climate change mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity and education as well as a host of other agendas.

We are looking for an independent Chair for our Partnership Steering Group following the passing of Pat McCloskey last year. Pat led the Partnership magnificently, with kindness, a strong focus on partnership, welfare of the Forest Team and achieving results. Our new Chair will lead a strong Partnership determined to continue deliver environmental improvements for our communities.

Attached are documents that set out the role of the Chair, the task ahead and a guide to Mersey Forest.
