Wildlife Countryside Conservation Officer and Conservationist

A Wildlife Conservation Officer is involved in the management, improvement and protection of a wildlife or wilderness area. This work is practical and varied and it includes conducting wildlife surveys, maintaining wildlife habitats – i.e., tree planting and pond management, ensuring right of access by maintaining footpaths and bridleways, and educating visitors by providing exhibitions, guided walks and resource centres.

To enjoy this type of work, candidates must have a passion for the outdoors and have a belief in the importance of caring for places of natural beauty and historical interest. Our online wildlife and conservation courses will help you prepare for these types of roles.
