So I have just completed my first paid (with actual money) job in the countryside industry as a Seasonal Ranger in Suffolk. And what a great experience it was with so many tasks like making hay, counting butterflies, staining picnic benches, weaving willow domes, getting hyper active Beavers to rake up grass, launching recycled rockets across nature reserves, dissecting tudor poo, pond dipping with small people, pruning and strimming, and the less glamorous stuff like litter picking, emptying doggy-do bins, and spraying pesticide in my own face! Good times.
