What job could you do if you enjoy working outdoors, you want to educate all ages about their part in habitat conservation as well as having the requirement of being able to use a chainsaw to maintain the countryside (sensibly, with a licence I might add!). In this week’s episode Lynsey learns all about the varied role of a Countryside Ranger from Jean Cheadle who has been in her role for 20 years. Jean explains how her career journey started with her studying visual art and geography at university, mainly to avoid making the decision of what career she wanted to go in to, however, this was in fact the first step to her longstanding love for the countryside. It was the door that opened her up to some valuable volunteering opportunities and to a job where she can have a tangible positive impact in protecting the natural world around her.
