Land & Countryside

Whether you like agriculture, arboriculture (tree surgery), conservation or horticulture, our land-based department can help.

The importance of the environmental and land-based sector is increasingly influential in the world as people become ever more aware of the importance of sustainable practice for the survival of the planet. It is an extremely diverse industry, with careers ranging from forest worker, garden centre manager and biofuel farmer to zoo keeper, horse breeder and guide dog trainer to conservation wildlife manager, food scientist and waste management officer.

Over half of people working in the land-based industries run their own businesses, so there are many opportunities for entrepreneurs.
