THREE graduates are being offered a green route to employment, at least for the summer holidays and maybe permanently.
Former students Ann-Marie Edwards, a countryside warden at Guisborough Forest and Walkway, and Jonathon Green, working for the Forestry Commission at the walkway, are perfect examples of how productive the scheme, run by Redcar and Cleveland Council, can be.
Places are earmarked for three recent graduates or students of environmental or natural science-related courses to gain valuable work experience within the council's countryside section.
The placements will be at one of the borough's three countryside sites - Flatts Lane, Normanby; Guisborough or Saltburn Valley Gardens - and run from early next month through to mid-September.
Successful applicants will work full-time, gaining practical habitat management, environmental education work, planning and running visitor events and visitor centre management.
For an informal discussion about the placements, or an application form, contact Briony Serginson on 01642 444239.
