Conservation has been taught at Otley for nearly thirty years.

If you want a career working in the countryside for organisations such as the National Trust or national parks then this vocational option is for you.

Our tutors will equip you with the knowledge and skills required to gain employment in a Countryside Management capacity.

You will study a wide range of subjects through a combination of lectures, visits, study tours and work related assignments.

We regularly work with a number of external organisations and have recently completed two environmental projects for a local primary school and a local district council.

The best thing about these courses is that the great outdoors is your classroom.

We have several conservational areas at our main campus whereby you will get the practical skills you need to forge a career in this exciting industry.
