CJS Information and other articles
Happy New Year from the CJS Team.
Once it got going 2021 turned out to be a very busy one for us here at CJS, we published more adverts than for many years and we're hoping 2022 will bring as many opportunities for everyone across our sector.
As for the last couple of years the CJS Team are all working from home on flexible hours, the team is normally available between ten and four but you may receive responses at other times. We've already been very busy: the first CJS Weekly of the year (last Friday) had 102 adverts for vacancies, plus 14 for voluntary roles. Which makes this seem an appropriate time to remind you about advertising jobs with CJS! [more]

From the Inner-City to the Rainforest:
Discovering Self and Finding Purpose By Kwesia
The things that led
to start of City Girl in Nature, as a way for me to give back to my community.
To share my love and passion for the outdoors, and
my belief that everybody
should have the chance to be healed, to be nourished, and to live life with
abundance. Since I began my quest, I have met some extraordinary people. People
from all walks of life, young and old, of all backgrounds and beliefs, diverse
and multicultural, all of us united by a shared passion for nature and the
outdoors. [more ]
Win-win for people and nature an introduction to the NATURE
Tool by Dr. Stuart Robertson, Ecosystems Knowledge
Network.
The Nature Tool for Urban and Rural Environments (the NATURE Tool)
is designed to be used by the full range of professionals that are involved in
shaping built development throughout the UK, from design teams to planners and
construction specialists, as well as organisations whose sole focus is nature
enhancement. It is expected to be deployed on everything from linear
infrastructure projects to new housing. The NATURE Tool has been developed with
the different needs and public policy priorities of each UK jurisdiction in
mind. [more]
CSH Nature Recovery Rangers at the NHS By Athene Reiss,
Green Space for Health Partnerships Project Manager
In April 2021, three
‘Nature Recovery Rangers’ were embedded at NHS trusts in Liverpool, London and
Bristol by the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare (CSH). These rangers embody the
seed of an idea that could transform the management and use of green spaces on
healthcare sites in the UK and further afield. At the time, we weren’t sure
exactly what the work of the rangers would look like on the ground. Nine months
later, we can see that it looks like many varied improvements to green and blue
spaces and a wide range of engagement with them by patients and staff. It looks
like wellbeing enhancements for nature and people developing side by side. [more]
A plastic free future… By Mike Appleton, Plastic Free
Woodlands Officer at Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust
Yorkshire Dales
Millennium Trust’s Plastic Free Woodlands project has already made significant
progress in removing redundant plastic tree guards from the Yorkshire Dales
landscape, championing alternatives, and highlighting the issue of plastics in
forestry nationally. It has been suggested that a staggering 50 million trees
per year need to be planted to counteract Britain’s contribution to climate
change. As trees are often planted using plastic tubes that could mean that up
to 1.5 billion plastic tubes could end up littering our environment and damaging
ecosystems by 2050. [more]
Next Edition: CJS on Volunteering, our annual look at volunteering is this year in affiliation with the Association of Volunteer Managers and is due for publication on 28 February 2022. We're accepting adverts for this edition now. More information here
In last year's survey readers asked for us to start including Rural Regeneration, perhaps you were one of them there were a lot of you, so the first news items on this topic are including for the first time. You also asked for some more light hearted, upbeat news and we're trying to add some of that too - it's not always easy to find, this month we finish with the RSPCA's top rescues of 2021 including a greedy badger stuck in a bin. This month includes the main stories and headlines from over the festive break and consequently there are several end of year reviews and reports and as it's January and every one is making lots of healthy resolutions there are stories on recreation, health and volunteering too.
Calendar of events and short courses occurring in March 2022 plus additions made over the past month.
The next edition of CJS Professional will be published on: 10 February
