gerry 'theranger' obrien of conkers

Friday the 21st of October 2011 marked my last working day at Conkers, 4 yrs & 4 months after I first started in June 2007. Throughout my time there I gained much firsthand experience in practical conservation work and delivering high quality environmental education programmes to groups of all ages and abilities. I also had the opportunity to lead volunteers, consult with corporate groups and network with outside professional bodies. It was a steep learning curve for me and one that I enjoyed immensely, I leave with a slight sadness but a strong feeling that it's the right step to take, my apprenticeship has been served!

As for next steps I'm not 100% sure just yet, I've been taking some time out, doing some agency work whilst I weight up my options. Whatever I go on to do will be done with the drive, determination & passion to make a positive environmental difference, I'll carry on educating on the beauty of the natural world and having lots of wildlife adventures. Stay tuned...!
