Senior Education and Community Officer at Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve.
I switched areas within conservation. I worked as a project scientist organising surveys, collecting baseline data and running training sessions and scholarships to increase local capacity for conservation. I changed to an education role after seeing conservation measures failing in a number of different places. I realised how important it was to give people the opportunity to learn more about our natural environment if we want something for the future.

Have a look at what is happening locally to you and try it out. Get in touch and do some volunteering to find out more about what the jobs entail and if it is something you enjoy doing.
That excitement is when someone discovers something for the first time and wants to share it with you. That moment will stay with them and helps to remind me that what I do matters.
A quiet spot on the beach in the winter, you can walk for ages without seeing anyone at all. Being wrapped up from the sea breeze and cold, with the winter light and the sound of the waves.
