Work experience with ecological consultancy
A recent Environmental Science graduate, Ross Baird, works for the ecological consultancy ENIMS, based in Winchester. He says “My company is looking for any budding ecologists to take part in some bat surveys in the Southampton/Winchester area between now and September. Not only is it paid, but it is excellent experience for anyone looking for a career in ecology after you graduate. If you are interested, or would like more information, please send an email to ross.baird@enims.co.uk with some information about yourself (your name, what you are studying, what year you are in), your likely availability between mid-April and September, and if you have access to a car. I look forward to hearing from you!”.
