Searching for estate forestry/conservation roles, Yorkshire/N England

[Tilia]

Although this is an arb-dominated forum, I thought it is worth a shot.

 

I'm looking around for any roles on estates or similar, similar to a forester/ranger/countryside worker. I've previously worked in conservation, arboriculture and forestry, including roles for the Forestry Commission and the National Trust for Scotland. I'm currently working in arboricultural consultancy, but find some of the ethics of working with developers difficult to deal with... and so, I've decided to start pro-actively start searching for a role that is more focused on tree and woodland management, with conservation and sustainable management really important to me.

 

As far as experience goes, I've got NPTCs for chainsaws (including aerial work), pesticides and woodchippers; trailer towing; experience in fencing, coppicing and other woodland management, path works and dry-stone walling; general habitat management and conservation work; and doing tree safety inspections and making recommendations. I'm also currently studying an MSc in Forestry by distance-learning, and would love to be in a role to apply what I learn.

 

If anyone reading either works for estates that could use a forester or conservationist, or know someone who does, I'd be really grateful if you could get in touch - I'd more than happy to give more details of my experience, or send a CV.

 

Thank you for reading.
