Nature Reserve Stewards
Being a steward involves visiting one of our nature reserves to inventory species and document threats to the natural habitat. Stewards act as the eyes on the ground for our nature reserves team. They help conserve these unique and diverse natural habitats.
The role requires a minimum of three visits annually to monitor the property and report any activities to staff. This opportunity is focused on the steward’s interest, so we tailor the position to fit their needs.
