Can anyone give me a job in conservation?

Question

I desperately want to work in the wild, miles away from towns and cities.I've got an arboricultural/horticultural background,and I love anything to do with nature.I don't care where the job is,I will consider anything.

Answer 1

Sure, i understand your problem indeed. I'm a retired National Park Ranger, currently working outside my country Uganda-East Africa, but hope to return home early in 2008.

I've plans to start a personal Tour Company at that time, and believe you know what it means.

Uganda is well endowed with diversity of natural attractions-both fauna and flora, with unlimited scope for conservation and business activities.

Our National Parks are an unforgettable experience, that do attract Tourists from especially the USA, CANADA, UK, GERMANY, AUSTRALIA, SWITZERLAND, and many other countries worldwide.

So, the point is; if you do have the skills and experience of Tour-guiding or otherwise, we could work together in many ways. Email me for further discussion on; [e-mail]

Let me know your home country, please.

Answer 2

There's always seasonal work.   And there may be a conservation corp in your state.  Minnesota has one, California -- I have encountered them at work on trails deep in the wilderness.  What a great group of people, I love talking to them and the crew boss.

Good luck finding something that suits you. Your background should help a lot.

Answer 3

I can understand where your coming from the rat race stinks.

Answer 4

Get a job in the midwest with soil conservation.  Become a Farmer!

Answer 5

Check out USAJobs.gov and search for jobs with the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service. We're always hiring, especially in the midwest.

Answer 6

Check out these websites for lots of jobs in conservation.  Many are seasonal so are easier to get.  Spring would be the easiest time to get these jobs as many study breeding animals.  Most provide a free place to live as well and some will cover travel costs.
