Countryside Ranger
What they do: Countryside rangers look after parks, nature reserves, forests and other wild places. Their work might include clearing paths, planting trees, checking on wildlife, fighting wildfires, and helping visitors enjoy nature safely.
Why it matters: Wild places help store carbon, clean our air and water, and give homes to thousands of species. Rangers make sure these places stay healthy for years to come.
Typical UK pay: Usually £19,000 to £23,000 at the start, rising to around £30,000 for senior or head rangers.
How to get into it:
• Love being outside in all weathers. Join groups like the Scouts, Guides or a local wildlife trust.
• You can do a Countryside Ranger apprenticeship, a college course in Countryside Management, or a degree inConservation.
• Lots of rangers start by volunteering at nature reserves to gain experience.
