You might be the sort who notices what a creek is missing. This covers restoration, species strategy, monitoring and the law behind it. Built for outdoor work rather than a desk.
Ecological restoration and habitat enhancement is where conservation work starts. Species recover when the ground they live on does.
A topic on human and wildlife conflict management. Most conservation work happens where people and animals share space.
Policy and law in wildlife conservation gets its own topic, which is what separates a volunteer from a hire.
Landcare groups, councils, catchment bodies and contractors all run restoration work. Most of it starts with people on the ground who know what they are looking at.
Planting, weeding and rebuilding degraded ground.
Working alongside local groups on catchment projects.
Recording sightings, counts and site data.
Field work on weeds and pest animal programs.
Supporting the people who write and cost the plans.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. The course carries no national recognition. Field roles often want a licence, tickets or volunteer hours as well.
Nine topics, from restoring habitat to the law that protects it.
Nine topics take you from planting the ground back up to the policy that governs it, with monitoring and data work in the middle.
A topic on community based conservation, because most restoration runs on local groups and landholders.
Conservation genetics and population management, the thinking behind why a species is or is not viable.
The course closes on ecosystem based management rather than single species fixes.
