Landscape Management
Working in Landscape Management; this is similar to countryside management (see more about this here) but is focusing specifically on the whole landscape and ecosystems rather than a solitary site. This could be providing expert opinion on the landscape type (e.g. moorland, agriculture) to interested parties, running a project to enhance and promote a landscape type covering everything from initial project set up to writing and presenting a final report on the success (or otherwise) of the project. Expect to include elements of ecology and biodiversity, countryside management, arboriculture and agriculture.
Practical roles are also available.
Landscape Management includes coastal, riparian and marine management.
Typical jobs include Living Landscape Project Officer, Landscape Officer, Countryside Officer, River Restoration Officer the National Careers Service has role profiles of all of these and many more (click the links)
