THE Forestry Commission is looking for a key player to shape its work in the North-East.

The commission is reorganising its structure and needs a chairman for its advisory committee for Northumberland, Durham, Tyne and Wear and Teesside.

The committee is one of eight across the country and provides advice on any forestry issue.

The new chairman will be expected to work a few days each month and will receive expenses.

Anyone interested should call (01223) 314546. The deadline for applications is 21 July.
