As a manager or proprietor in the forestry or fishing industry (or similar), you’ll organise and manage what goes on at various wildlife, environmental and outdoor establishments. Keep reading to see what a career in this field is like and what you might need to study to qualify.
Career development in this field comes from increasing your experience and skillset. The more types of outdoor environments you work in, the more qualified you’ll be.
At the start of your career, you could be the manager of a small or medium-sized forest management company. After a few years, you could then seek a promotion at a bigger firm or within a large organisation, such as the National Trust.
It’s also possible to become self-employed, once you have the relevant experience and contacts. For example, you could set up your own tree surgery practice.
As you take on more responsibility and work on a wider spectrum of tasks, professional development will naturally occur.
Private companies and agencies provide technical and management training and your early employers should also offer fundamental training. You could become a member of the Institute of Chartered Foresters (ICF) to get chartered status.
You could also join the Arboricultural Association and the Institute of Fisheries Management.
