Conservation Officer

A conservation officer works to protect and manage the natural environment, including parks, woodlands, rivers, and wildlife habitats. The role often involves surveying sites, monitoring biodiversity, enforcing environmental regulations, and educating the public about conservation issues. Conservation officers may also be involved in planning and delivering habitat restoration projects, liaising with landowners, and working with volunteers. The job includes a mix of office work and outdoor fieldwork, sometimes in challenging weather conditions. Strong communication and problem-solving skills are important, as is a genuine passion for nature and sustainability.
