Your work not only protects people but supports wildlife too. One day you might search for signs of protected animals, the next you could test river water, or you could check a flood gate is working before heavy rain. You may visit woodlands, building sites, wetlands, farms, canals, beaches and laboratories.
Technology is a growing part of the job too. You could use digital maps, wildlife cameras and sensors that send water-level information from remote places. Some projects use natural features such as wetlands, trees or simple barriers made from natural materials to slow water and reduce flooding while creating homes for wildlife.
It is varied work where your observations and practical actions can make a visible difference.
