CJS Focus on... series

CJS Focus on... is primarily an information resource for our readers; the aim being to expand knowledge of specific areas of the sector and to provide valuable information thereby increasing the current knowledge of our readers who are all in the conservation, countryside & environment sector. 

Each Series has articles about working in the chosen areas, job profiles and signposting where you can find resources including those with CJS, presented in an easily digestible format spread out across several weeks. 

The articles and information published as part of the Series are included in CJS Weekly and CJS Professional as well as being gathered together online.
