Countryside
Do you like the idea of maintaining landscapes and coasts, as
well as ensuring the preservation of grassland, moorland,
heathland, woodland and wetland habitats? If the answer is yes,
then you could meet the increasing need for well qualified staff in
the management of rural resources.
You could be patrolling sites, making sure
bridleways and other public areas are safe, promoting environmental
conservation, devising and implementing surveys to monitor
wildlife, recruiting and supervising staff and volunteers
developing a business plan, marketing and controlling budgets,
preparing applications for funding or assessing planning
applications organising activities and projects.
One thing is for sure – that Shuttleworth can
give you access to almost every kind of habitat. Uniquely situated
in a conservation area, the estate itself has a working farm, a
shoot, a fishery with several well stocked lakes, a site of special
scientific interest, ancient woodland, a country wildlife site, and
formal parklands with county specimen trees, all in addition to a
huge range of learning resources from which you can benefit.
Land management in the UK depends on the
people gaining the skills you will develop when you take one of our
Countryside qualifications. Whether you end up as a warden, a
ranger, a game keeper or an ecologist, we guarantee that at
Shuttleworth you will get the very best grounding for your
future.
