Botanist

A botanist is a scientist who specialises in the study of plants, including their structure, properties, and biochemical processes. In the UK, botanists are involved in a wide range of activities, from researching plant genetics and ecology to conserving native species and advising on environmental policies. Their work may involve outdoor field studies, laboratory experiments, data analysis, and writing scientific reports. Botanists often contribute to efforts such as habitat restoration, biodiversity monitoring, and sustainable agriculture. The career is well suited to those with a passion for nature, scientific curiosity, and strong analytical skills.
