Notice Information

Notice Title

Downs to the Sea: Monitoring & Evaluation of Delivery Phase - AWARD

Notice Description

Downs to the Sea has been designed to make urgent, targeted interventions that will build on the evidence and the legacy of previous work and leave a platform for continued impact through ongoing partnerships. It is a 2.5 year project to rapidly deliver vital improvements at key habitats, to increase precious water resources and to further embed ways of working that will enable those that access nature the least but can benefit the most to foster a critical connection to blue and green spaces. We are now seeking the use of external evaluators to support the practical implementation of the evaluation plan and to provide external scrutiny in conducting interim and final evaluations.
