Hi there,

 

My name is Westerly, I'm new to this forum.

 

I'm thinking about taking a course to become a tree surgeon or a course in Contryside Management as I'd like to be a Rangerat Southdowns Park or somewhere like that.

 

I look forward to speaking to you all

Welcome to Arbtalk. You will find a wealth of help here whichever path you choose

[Westerly]

Thanks felixthelogchopper

 

So what do you do? I can't quite decide which course I'd rather do to be honest, I think my career would be broader if I took countryside management...

 

Not too sure,

I do treework as a groundy and a bit of garden stuff in the summer.

Hi, the country side management course doesnt have a great deal of tree work in it, you might knock a few over but thats its, there isnt any climbing in it as far as im aware, but like you say you want to be a park ranger or whatever they are called then it is probably your best bet to do it because it covers alot of others things in more detail

I worked for a while as a visitor services ranger with the South Downs Joint Committee before it disappeared when the National Park Authority took over. They had a position of trainee ranger (paid position), East Sussex Council also have trainee rangers (unpaid except for expenses i think). Try contacting ESCC or NPA as there may be a direct entry option and train on the job.
