Notice Title

Hen Harrier brood management - social science evaluation

Notice Description

A six month contract to utilise social science methods for assessing whether and how changes in attitudes and in behaviours had occurred during the hen harrier brood management trial.

The project should investigate the role of a range of factors including brood management, law enforcement, tagging and monitoring, and the availability of other management techniques including diversionary feeding. Additional information: To apply for this opportunity you must submit your quotation meeting the requirements detailed in the Request for Quotation (RFQ) attached. Your response must be sent to hen.harrier@naturalengland.org.uk by 12 midday on 15/09/2023.
