White Peak Landscape Recovery Green Finance Consultant

Description

The Peak District National Park Authority requires a Green Finance Consultant to undertake a feasibility study on private finance for nature restoration that is supported by Green Enterprises. We require the Consultant to help us understand the following: 1. Is there a route to attracting private finance for nature recovery in the White Peak? 2. How would a group of farmers have to constitute or organise themselves to be able to secure green finance? 3. The role of Green Finance for Protected Site Strategies in National Parks The consultant also needs to consider the emerging recommendations from the Defra ELM test on the role of NPAs in ELMs and green finance. The consultant will work closely with the PDNPA, Natural England, and local farmers to answer these questions and produce recommendations that will help guide the next stages of the project. We are looking to work with consultants who have strong local knowledge (or the willingness to gain it), understand the complexities and constraints of land management in upland, protected landscapes, have an innovative approach to private finance for nature restoration.
