CRRU’s ultimate objective is to reduce the incidence of rodenticide residues in barns owls, the formally adopted sentinel species for all non-target wildlife.

Since 2016, CRRU has operated the UK Rodenticide Stewardship Regime, reporting to an HSE-led government oversight panel.

A role description is available at thinkwildlife.org/chair with details of all CRRU activities on the same site.

Freestyle applications including CV should be sent to [email protected] by midday Friday 15 December.
