If you share our guiding principles, are based in the South West, are deeply collaborative, adventurous and kind, and care for people and planet, then this could be your opportunity to have a real impact on a pioneering organisation with great potential.
This is a contract for services, the fee is £300 – £350 per day, depending on experience.

About Flete Field Lab
Flete Field Lab is an experimental and collaborative Community Interest Company, researching and developing nature-based remedies for soil and water issues.
We use biochar made from locally sourced waste materials for soil enhancement, and mycelium (the main underground body of fungi) to improve water quality. We hope to uncover ways to revive ecological health and support adaptation to the multiple impacts of climate change that are increasingly having negative impacts on our environment.
