The Tamara Landscape Partnership scheme completed its delivery in March 2026, with final reporting to the National Lottery due by the end of June. Sadly this means we have said goodbye to great colleagues and friends – Sabina Eberle who is now with the Eden Project, Bryony James who has moved on to the North Devon Biosphere and Ginnette Sutherland who is now with the Cornwall National Landscape. We wish them all the best in their new roles! We are pleased to have kept Sarah Richardson on as a Farming in Protected Landscapes Programme Officer, a role she will also have with Cornwall National Landscape.
