Conservation Scientist What do they do?

I looked at several websites to find out what a Conservation Scientist actually does. The best answer I found was on a website called bls.gov. This website stated that the main jobs that a Conservation Scientist performs is to manage and oversee the over all land and quality of Parks, Forests, Rangelands and all other natural sources. A Conservation Scientist has many responsibilities ranging from things like making sure that foresty and conservation activities are in compliance with government rules, helping to come up with plans for managing forest land and natural resources, they have to supervise the work of other forestry and conservation workers, helping to prevent forest fires as well as helping in putting out forest fires. They are also  responsible for finding new locations and sites for new tress to be planted, and for negotiating terms for land use contracts. They evaluate soil samples and test tress for damage caused by fires and logging in surrounding areas. They work in all kinds of weather to keep the forests growing safe and clean.
 Next week for my blog I will research what type of degree I would have to have to become a Conservation Scientist, and research colleges that would be best for me to go to to get my degree.

How many of us would rather workout doors rather than sitting in a desk, in an office starring at the same walls day after day? Just think about it... If you were to have a career the required you to be outside all day the great outdoors would be your office. This is the type of job that is extremely appealing to me.
Today I researched jobs that have to do with nature. I fill like I may be interested in being either a Park Ranger or a Conservation  Scientist. I feel that I would enjoy doing these these jobs because i like nature and I like being out doors. I hope that during the course of the semester I can gain a better understanding of the type of jobs that are available to people who work in the great outdoors.

I began doing some research and came across several jobs that interested me on a  website called tentree.com. I know that I want a job that is low stress and gives you a lot of free time. So once I began my search, I found several careers that have to do with nature.
  
This week I took the time to research what type of jobs don't require you to wear a suit and tie to work everyday, and the type of job that would allow me to not be stuck in an office building all day. One job that realy caught my eye was being a Conservation Scienctist.

Next week I plan to to take a deeper look into what a Conservation Scientist actually does, this will help me to know if this would be a good career fit for me.
