Conservation Officer

A Conservation Officer works to protect, manage, and improve the natural environment. This can involve safeguarding habitats, monitoring wildlife, advising on land management, and educating the public about environmental issues. Most of the work takes place outdoors, often in nature reserves, parks, or sites of special scientific interest. Conservation Officers also spend time in the office, preparing reports, applying for funding, and working with local communities and volunteers. The role is ideal for those who are passionate about the environment, enjoy problem-solving, and are happy working both independently and as part of a team.
