LANSS was delighted to be asked to share their story with the Countryside Jobs Service audience.
Countryside Jobs Service is an ethical business working in harmony with environmental professionals to conserve the British countryside and natural world.
Their website provides a one-stop shop for everyone already working in or looking to work in the countryside, conservation, ecology and wildlife sectors. You'll find adverts for jobs and volunteer placements, there is a daily news service, a full training directory of courses and professional events and a large library of in-depth information covering the whole industry.
