Estate Ranger Intern
You can read about land stewardship for years and still not understand it. This internship is the alternative: twelve hands-on months on one of the UK's most exciting restoration landscapes. Blackburn & Hartsgarth is an 11,400-acre former sheep farm and grouse moor near Newcastleton in the Scottish Borders. It rises from the valley floor to the summit of Roan Fell, with plans to plant 1.6 million native trees, 3,000 acres of peatland restoration and fenceless conservation grazing with native cattle.
Working alongside our B&H estate team, you'll learn directly from experienced people across habitat work, cattle husbandry, deer management, estate maintenance and ecological monitoring. You'll also be a visible face of Oxygen Conservation with the contractors, neighbours and visitors who make the estate work. A full year means you'll see the whole cycle on the hill, from winter planting and herbivore management to summer surveys and grazing.
