Fantastic opportunity to be involved in the resurrection of ancient temperate rainforests, basically it’s like working in Jurassic Park (without the velociraptors)

 

Spend years on you hands and knees in the pissing rain, you won’t be eaten by the velociraptors but more slowly by midges cutting rhodies for buttons.

 

It's not the midges you need to watch out for, it's the ticks! Good to see that the job application is generating cross thread discussion. Believe it or not there are folk crazy enough to want it. It's where I started in scotland and I'll probably die still cracking away at clearing rhodie from the jungle out in 2m of rain per year, howling conditions.

 

I have made a point of saying it's not for everyone and you need to want this job, not a job. It's ok that it's not for you, I expect France is far easier in the skin.

Asian hornets and mosquitos are our summer companions.

Good luck, don’t take offence, we’re only having a laugh (well most of us) I know @5thelement has done a fair bit of ponticum clearance.

Put up some photos of before and after, should be interesting.

Yes, apprecieate the craic, but there were some wild posts going up under the advert, so it's been an odd experience
